Burden Increase Due to:

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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The Commission has made the following adjustments to its estimated burdens: (a) the Commission has increased the number of estimated annual responses from 71,375 to 74,706. The increase is largely due to the fact that, over the past three years, there has been a steady increase in the number of fingerprint submissions. Secondarily, there has also been a slight year over year increase in fee worksheet submissions; (b) the Commission has increased the number of the estimated burden hours from 38,292.5 to 47,498. This increase is primarily due to the fact that, according to tribal feedback, the average hours per response for fee worksheets has tripled from 2 to 6. Secondarily, this increase is a logical outcome of the increase noted in (a) above. (c) Despite the increases noted above, the Commission has decreased the estimated annual cost burden from $500,000 to $379,480. This is directly attributable to the fact that, since the previous renewal cycle, the Commission has decreased the fee that it charges tribes for processing fingerprint cards The fee has been reduced from $21/card to $18/card. This fee decrease, applicable to tens of thousands of processed cards, offsets the above-mentioned increases in responses and burden hours.
