Type of Review Request: Regular
OIRA Conclusion Action: Approved with change	Conclusion Date: 02/12/2008
	Date Received in OIRA: 11/27/2007
Terms of Clearance: OMB removed the cost burdens because they were a monetization of the burden hours. The agency is reminded to avoid such double-counting of burden. In addition, OMB reclassified the change in annual time burden due to a previous calculation error and expiration of a one-time, start-up cost as adjustments since the changes were not the result of deliberate Federal government action.
