The purpose of the collection is for APHIS to collect information from the repondents to document the importation of horses, ruminants, swine, and dogs from regions where screwworm is known to exist.
US Code:
7 USC 8301
Name of Law: The Animal Health Protection Act
There is an adjustment increase of +9 respondents and +1,597 annual responses resulting in an increase of +400 total burden hours.
The adjustments are due to an increase in the number of respondents and responses for Health Certificates for dogs due an increase in the number of individuals interested in importing dogs into the US. Also the number of Health Certificates for horses has increased because there was an increase in the number of times a respondent requested to import horses into the US.
