Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: As for adjustments, TTB is decreasing the estimated number of respondents, from 1,518 to 298, and the resulting total annual burden hours associated with this information collection, from 2,277 to 535, due to a decrease in the number of new and amended tobacco industry permit applications received by TTB. As required by the Children’s Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009 (CHIPRA; Pub. L. 111–3, 123 Stat. 8), most tobacco processors have already applied for and received permits, and, as required by TTB temporary rule T.D. TTB–115 (78 FR 38555, June 27, 2013), most tobacco importers have already applied for and received new 5-year permits. Therefore, decreases in the number of new tobacco processor and tobacco importer permits have resulted in the recent overall decrease in the number of new and amended tobacco industry permit application received by TTB. In addition, TTB has reevaluated the costs to respondents associated with this collection. While the per-response cost for this collection has risen due to increases in salary and other costs, the total cost for this collection has decreased due to the decrease in the number of respondents to this collection.
