This is a reinstatement of a previously approved information collection. Therefore, the reinstatement is a program change totaling 8,832 total annual responses, and 8,785 burden hours.
New burden in this reinstatement that was inadvertently omitted in the previous information collection is as follows: Application for Import or Transit Permit (Certificate for Live Swine) (Business), and Application for Import or Transit Permit (Certificate for Swine Semen) (Business), and the Declaration of Importation (VS Form 17-29) (Business) which was documented in the last renewal as a form that is filled out by APHIS; however, that is incorrect. The VS 17-29 is filled out by businesses, and that is now documented on the APHIS 71 and in this Supporting Statement.
