The change in burden (i.e.,
decrease) is an ADJUSTMENT due to a change in the methodology for
calculating burden. In past ICRs we did not differentiate between
the industry hour burden for inputting a new RRI submission or
updating an existing RRI submission. In this ICR, we estimate that
it takes fewer hours (i.e., 50% fewer hours) to review/update an
existing RRI submission than to input a new submission. There is no
proposed change to the reporting requirements of this collection.
The reporting requirements remain unchanged.
