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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The change in the burden is an ADJUSTMENT. There is no proposed change to the recordkeeping requirements of this collection. The recordkeeping requirements, and the methodology for calculating burden, remain unchanged. The following items listed below are changes to the collection: • Decrease in burden (i.e., burden hours) is due to the correction of an error in the calculations. We have moved the burden calculations from the text of this Supporting Statement to an Appendix (Excel sheet). Thus, a historical calculation error was uncovered and corrected. • Increase in responses is due to a revision in the way we calculate responses. Previously, responses were equal to the number of respondents. We have revised that to responses equal to the number of annual IC activities. • Updates are provided for cost burden associated with this collection of information. • The Coast Guard has updated printable instructions for this collection of information.
