The total annual burden hours decreased by 452 (4520-4068) in this request. The adjusted changes are due to a fewer numbers of participating entities using FSA-750. Those entities that filed in Fiscal Year 2011 are mainly grain merchants and The Canadian Wheat Board. Also, those entities using FSA-751 are predominately flour mills and there has been consolidation in that industry. There are not many resellers.
