Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The changes in burden and costs are the result of an improved methodology of calculating costs as opposed to any regulation change. In particular the Bureau realized that the previous estimates in inherited counted only the number of institutions responding to this information collection, and not also the individuals who are required to respond. Therefore the new requests should be seen as a more accurate representation of the true costs and burdens of Regulation G.
