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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The estimated number of annual respondents (1,675) is a decrease of 1,245 from the previous request of 2,920. The estimate in burden hours (964) is a decrease of (607) from the previously approved 1,571. Additionally, the estimated cost burden of $871 is $560 less than the previously requested of $1,431. Much of the decrease associated with burden costs and hours is attributed to a significant reduction of respondents in the use of the CA-1074, Student Dependency, and CompDueDeath Letters To determine the estimated number of respondents, DFEC used a computer generated listing to provide numbers based on documents that are imaged in the claimant’s case file based on category/subject/author date. However, initial numbers, particularly for the CompDeathDue for example, were skewed. Upon closer review of the imaged record, it was found that the category/subject of this letter varied in many instances, which resulted in DFEC to actually review the case records to determine a more accurate estimate for this letter. Any document that is imaged into a claimant’s case file is viewed using a category/subject/author date, etc.
