Short Statement: The information reported in this collection only applies to a customer’s request for a waiver from a particular rule or requirement in the regulations which amounts to 5 or fewer requests on a monthly basis. The decrease to the reported burden is due to an examination of Fiscal Service collections related to activities necessary to establish and maintain State and Local Government (SLG) security accounts. Most activity occurs within the SLGSafe system – the secure Internet application available for subscribers to manage a SLG portfolio which is included in collections reported under OMB Number 1530-0065. The decrease of 421 hours is an adjustment in agency estimate for a total of 13 burden hours requested for OMB Number 1530-0044.
