Short Statement: Program changes: Modifications were made to the Application for the President's "E" and "E" Star Awards for Export Expansion to eliminate six unnecessary questions, provide guidance to assist respondents in correctly completing the application, add two questions to aid in selecting Award winners and reorganize the form to improve aesthetics. These changes did not require any changes to burden hours. Adjustment: The burden is expected to increase by 400 hours (from 200 to 600) because more U.S. exporters (from 10 to 20) are expected to apply for the Award due to the ITA's efforts to promote exporting in support of the President's National Export Initiative.
