Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: "Number of Respondents," has been adjusted from 4,900 to 10,440, and "Total Annual Responses," has been adjusted from 3,900 to 9,600. Both increases reflect the requirement, as of October 2008, for respondents to submit applications annually, rather than have the option of registering biennially. The discrepancy between the number of respondents (10,440) and the total annual responses (9,600) is attributed to the continually-changing pool of registrants. (In any given calendar year, some registrants do not renew their registration. Also, new registrants are continually added to the list of registrants.)
