Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: Program Change: In 2012, APHIS discontinued its Voluntary Bovine Johne's Disease Control Program (VBJDCP), which provided minimum requirements to identify herds with a low risk of Johne's infection as a way to control the disease. States now carry out their own Johne's monitoring programs using their own forms. This information collection has been revised to account only for the forms of burden APHIS currently requires by regulation. Since APHIS discontinued the VBJDCP, and eight forms associated with the collection are no longer necessary, there was a significant program change in the burden for this renewal. The burden associated with the eight forms caused a program change of -8,850 respondents, -65,930 total annual responses, and -38,085 burden hours. Adjustment: Since the last submission, APHIS discontinued the VBJDCP because of funding declines. The burden that remains in this collection (VS Form 1-27 and eartags) decreased causing an adjustment of -272 respondents, -169 total annual responses, and -99 burden hours.
