Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: The total number of respondents for this collection has changed to 1,680 and the total annual number of responses 10,080. Although the mix of complexity of a determination request has been stable over the years, there is no way of predicting with absolute certainty the number of determinations that will be requested in a given year. The total burden hours increased from 20,880 to 24,360 (+3480) hours. This increase is due to increase in the number of respondents for this collection. This has caused a program adjustment of +3480 hours.
