Short Statement: The difference in hour burden is due to an agency adjustment, specifically a decrease in the number of respondents. Previously, EOIR estimated that there are approximately 33,980 respondents annually and EOIR currently estimates 28,868 respondents. The number of hours per response (6 minutes) remains the same, so the difference in hour burden is due to fluctuations in the number of respondents.
