Burden Increase Due to:

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The decrease in estimated total annual time burden from 87,460 hours to 42,750 hours reflects the elimination of the staff's estimated hourly burden for entities that update their policies and procedures under the rule, because such updates are not considered to be part of the compliance burden of the rule. The staff is no longer including these activities in its burden estimates because such updates are not required by the rule. For purposes of our analysis, hourly burdens and external costs associated with voluntary actions that are not required by the rule are not considered to be part of the compliance burden of the rule. The decrease is also attributable to a decrease in the staff's estimated hourly burden for entities that adopt new policies and procedures under the rule.
