Burden increases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Increase Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: The change in burden is both a Program Change and an Adjustment. The program change is due to the addition of the new NTVRP colleciton. The adjustment is due to a change in the vessel and facility populations and frequency of document submission. Tried to place the difference in both Program change and Adjustment in ROCIS, but the system would not let me.
