Burden Reduction Due to:  
 
Short Statement:  The increase in response burden
for the requested extension compared to the generic clearance
currently approved is due to: an increase (of 7 percent) in the
number of investigations for which it is anticipated questionnaires
will be issued on an annual basis during the next three years; an
increase in the average burden per questionnaire, not including the
additional burden for any industry-wide supplemental follow-ups (1
hour more per questionnaire); and an increase in the number of
foreign producer questionnaire responses (from 14.8 firms per
investigation to 20 firms per investigation); and the addition of
burden in the requested extension for any industry-wide
supplemental follow-ups representing an increase of 5 percent per
questionnaire. These increases are off-set in part by a calculated
decline in the number of responding producers per questionnaire.
Finally, the change in total burden cost tracks the increase in
reporting burden identified above. The change in total burden cost
is overstated since it had not previously been entered.
