Terms of Clearance: MARAD changed the classification of the increase in burden to “change due to adjustment in agency estimate” from “program change due to agency discretion.” MARAD is not actively seeking to garner more responses, but more responses will come as a result of a natural increase in the universe of respondents. Accordingly, there is no program change that increases burden. MARAD also amended and more fully explained its monetization of the time burden.
