Short Statement: The total annual hours burden was reduced from 6,400 to 3,400 because fewer applicants applied for approval than expected three years ago. The total annual cost burden was also reduced from $240,000 to $150,000 to reflect the lower number of applicants. There was an error reported in the cost of the previous submission, therefore the reason for the increase from $3,000 to $150,000.
