Short Statement: The increase in burden hours is due to an increase in the number of responses. The increase in the burden dollars is due to increase in burden hours and a change in calculation method.* There have been no statutory or regulatory changes affecting this information collection. In prior information collection requests, the estimated cost burden was described as “a usual and customary business expense not directly associated with this information collection.” The DEA believes the estimated cost burden associated with this information collection should be included. This change in calculation method is employed in this and future information collection requests.
