The 2010 numbers entered into
ROCIS were incorrect; therefore the "Change Due to Adjustment in
Agency Estimate" numbers include the corrections. There is an
overall adjustment of +5,713 in burden hours. This is partially due
to a shift in the type of claims being adjudicated to those that
require the submission of more information. There has also been an
increase in the operation and maintenance cost of +$25,772. This is
partially due to mailing costs increasing. The only change to any
of the forms in this renewal was to the form EE/EN-20. The only
changes were the deletion of the option to request payment by paper
check, per Treasury's instructions.
