Short Statement: The Commission has adjusted the estimated number of respondents, responses, burden hours and annual costs. This adjustment to the burden hours reflects the revised respondent and responses estimates based on updated licensing data and the increase in the number of licenses that will be due for renewal in the next three years. The annual cost estimate has been adjusted due to the increase in the number of responses and is also due to the estimated number of respondents (licensees) using outside consultants to discuss and prepare the information.
