ICR Summary of Burden

table that charts list of burden

	Total Approved	Previously Approved	Change Due to New Statute	Change Due to Agency Discretion	Change Due to Adjustment in Estimate	Change Due to Potential Violation of the PRA

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: See supporting statement. TSA added additional medical evaluation forms, which increased the respondent population and number of responses. However, we note that the hour burden reflected in chart above is not accurate; it should be 19,013, NOT 22,813. The way we are required to enter ICs divides burden up equally for all of the further evaluation forms and that is not the method we used for our calculations. This is because not all respondents need to fill out all further evaluation forms; depending on the medical conditions of applicants, some respondents may fill out 1 or 5 or none and we have no concrete way to determine the exact numbers. Thus, our supporting statement reflects our best good faith estimate.
