Short Statement: The overall burden for this collection has decreased from 803 hours and 102 responses in the previous renewal to 796 hours and 102 responses in this cycle. The decrease in the number of hours is reflective of the changes in the status of the licensees (a reduction in responders under Section 140.21, with an increase in Section 140.13 responders with an accompanying reduced burden per response.) A decrease in cost is also due to the decrease in fee rate, from $279/hour to $263/hour.
