Short Statement: The proposed burden is calculated based on actual usage of the PIN/Password system. The total annual responses have increased by 13,274, from 19,226 to 32,500 and the total burden hours have increased by 501, from 1,041 to 1,542. The increase is due to the number of new online accounts that have been established as a result of our efforts to publicize and encourage the use of the self-service options available on the agency's website. We have shown the increase of 13,274 annual responses and 501 burden hours as an adjustment.
