Burden Increase Due to: Changing Regulations

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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The "program change due to agency discretion" reflected in the ROCIS submission is because this information collection was entered as a "new" information collection because the OMB Control Number is being used for the renewal. In fact, this is a revision, reducing the overally estimated hour burden due to a regulatory change reducing the frequency with which applications must be considered. The application form for this information collection has also been revised to add two new questions; however, this will not affect the overall estimated hour burden for the application because the questions are applicable in very limited circumstances.
