Short Statement: The estimate for burden hours decreased from 4,157 to 2,847. The National Driver Register (NDR) successfully launched the modernized Problem Driver Pointer System (PDPS) on March 27, 2011. The new architecture and system enhancements have substantially reduced the burden hours and cost of processing Privacy Act requests submitted by the States and inquiries by Federal agencies, allowing personnel to complete the transaction more effectively and efficiently. The system creates a response letter automatically, once the file search has been completed, producing a high quality document which requires less staff intervention. Additional enhancements being studied include the option for an individual to submit their request for an NDR file search, via the Internet, directly to the agency. This enhancement should account for a further reduction in the burden hours and cost in the future.
