Short Statement: Explanation re burden: 1) When we first cleared this ICR, we included a regulation section with a 1-hour placeholder burden. In other words, this section's burdens were already covered by existing OMB-approved ICRs. As per recent OMB guidance, we no longer need to include/report on such sections, so we removed the relevant section from the IC list. This is why ROCIS indicates a 1-hour decrease in burden -- we removed that section. In reality, there was no burden change for this collection. 2) We re-organized the remaining regulation sections so the paper and Intranet version of each regulation section is reported as its own IC. For many sections, we revised the existing ICs to reflect the new paper- or Intranet-only regulation section, with the burden adjusted accordingly. However, because we previously combined paper and Intranet respondents together (as at that point the regulation was new and we couldn't accurately break out those categories), ROCIS indicates major burden changes for each IC. A comparison of the total burden for this ICR versus the last ICR reflects only a 1-hour burden difference (explained in #1 above).
