Short Statement: ETA-9043 and ETA-8562 and their variants now result in slightly decreased burden due to reorganization within the forms; the integration of 9043 C results in the elimination of this form. In addition, the combining of 8562a with 8562b created the new 8564a, and combining 8562c with 8562d created 8562b for a total elimination of the previously named 8562b, and 8562c and 8562d - an elimination of three forms, or a reduction of forms from 9 to 6 for the Information Collection for the business confidential date request, non-production questionnaire, and customer survey IC.
