PRA responsibilities of the former Financial Management Service (FMS) and Bureau of the Public Debt (BPD) have been combined under Fiscal Service. Competing priorities related to the Fiscal Service consolidation have not allowed staff to provide proper notice for comments to the public in the Federal Register. An emergency extension is requested to allow for proper comment period allowed to the public.

A reduction of 4 hours is attributed to discussions with representatives from financial institutions that indicate the amount of time required to complete the form is closer to 45 minutes rather than the 30 minutes previously reported. The increased time to complete the form combined with a decreased number of minority financial institutions reporting reduces the total annual burden hours to 64 rather than the 68 hours previously reported.
