The Department of Agriculture has submitted a request for review of information collection requirements to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act. Public comments are invited on the necessity and utility of the information collection, burden estimates, and suggestions for reducing respondent burden. The request involves the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service's efforts to prevent the introduction of animal and bee diseases into the U.S. This includes collections related to the importation of animals, poultry, and bees and requests comments by February 10, 2021.
Simple Explanation
The Department of Agriculture is asking people to tell them if it's really necessary to collect a lot of information about bringing animals and bees into the country, because it takes a lot of time and effort. They want to know if they can make this easier for everyone involved.
