Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The changes in annual respondents and annual responses comes from the Bureau revising its burden estimates to reflect future plans and actual usage of this clearance in the prior three years. The estimated total annual burden hours will remain constant as the Bureau plans to use less burdensome collection methods, but may expand the frequency of information collections submitted under this plan. The majority of the change in the number of respondents, responses, and hours inventoried under this OMB control number results from the Bureau capturing the projected three-year total burden as opposed to only the annual burden as previously inventoried with OMB.
