Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There is no change in the public reporting burden. The burden changes shown in ROCIS are due to the addition of three ICs which was necessary in order to show the burden per type of respondent (Private Sector and State/Local/Tribal Government) per form. Before ROCIS we did not have the ability to split the burden amongst these two types of respondents and, therefore, only reported one burden. Now that we have the ability to show the burden in this way, we have done so in ROCIS.
