IN MARCH 1985,
WE ASKED THE AGENCY TO SUBMIT A SIDE-BY-SIDE COMPARISON OF THE
PAPERWORK REQUIREMENTS IN THE PREVIOUS AND THE NEWLY PROMULGATED
REGULATIONS. INASMUCH AS THIS COMPARISON HAS NOT BEEN PROVIDED IN A
MANNER THAT WE CAN DETERMINE THE RELATIVE BURDEN OF THESE TWO
REGULATIONS, WE MUST TREAT ALL OF THE BURDEN AS A PROGRAM CHANGE.
IF THE AGENCY SUBMITS THE APPROPRIATE DOCUMENTATION IDENTIFYING THE
ADJUSTMENTS AND THE PROGRAM CHANGES, THEN WE WILL RECONSIDER THE
CLASSIFICATION OF THIS BURDEN.
