Adjustments: Responses are in
fact the same as previously, but due to an error in totaling, had
been reported as 275 rather than 146 in the last request. There is
an adjustment from $699.60 to $750.10 in recordkeeping/reporting
costs, due to postal rate increases. However, in ROCIS, it appears
as a decrease from $1,000, due to rounding up the cost when the
collection was migrated to the system.
