Miscellaneous Actions
A change to reduce the current burden of 90,000 hours is being requested. A number of Information Collection Requests (ICR) normally submitted under this Generic Clearance and that were associated with substantial burden are now being submitted and approved under their own standard 3-year clearance or Generic Clearance request. We are making this submission to renew the OMB approval with a burden of 6,000 hours annually for a total of 18,000 hours over the course of this approval.
