This collection seeks approval of forms that will be used by APHIS to permit the safe importation of poultry products into the United States, while ensuring they are free of poultry-bourne diseases.
US Code:
7 USC 8301
Name of Law: Animal Health Protection Act of 2002
There is an adjustment of -4 respondents and -28 responses resulting in a decrease of -28 total burden hours. This submission corrects a typo on the previous submission spreadsheet in the number of respondents from 15 to 5 for the Health Certificate (Foreign Government). With this correction, this revised submission reflects a decrease of -4 (Mexico) respondents from 5 to 1. However, the number of times each respondent responded increased from 10 times to 122 times because APHIS is importing more poultry from Mexico. The figures for the VS 17-29, VS 17-30, and VS 17-129 remain unchanged.
