Short Statement: In the 2008 information collection there were 20 total respondents, 40 annual responses, and 40 total burden hours. This submission indicates an increase of 260 respondents, 239 annual responses, and 239 burden hours due to an increase in shipments. APHIS has always required that a foreign government veterinarian review and sign the Foreign Meat Inspection Certificate. However, until this year, the Agency failed to account for this activity. With the addition of the Foreign Meat Inspection Certificate (Foreign Government) there is an adjusted change of +1 respondent and +1 responses resulting in an increase of +1 total burden hours for this activity.
