Burden Increase Due to:

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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The decrease in burden is due primarily to the fact that the number of incoming reports of harm has decreased, and the number claims based on those reports has decreased as well. While comments did not decline significantly, they did shift to the more efficient online submission types. There was a large increase in small batch manufacturer activity, which has been rising steadily for years. However, this increase was not large enough to offset the decreases in other areas.
