Short Statement: When we last cleared this information collection, it was new and we had little experience with, and information about, Fast Track on which to base our burden estimates. After having a full clearance cycle to further develop agency customer satisfaction activities, estimate agency needs, and fine tune our collection methods based on the Fast Track protocol, we have projected a more representative annual burden estimate.
