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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The Federal Government cost for this program has decreased due to a change in the methodology used to calculate Federal cost. Previously, an estimate of 72 hours per application was used to calculate an hour burden. The Program Office responsible for processing Airspace Waiver Applications provided that estimate as a maximum hour burden per application. However, individual application processing times vary. TSA believes a more accurate cost estimate of Federal costs is the fully-loaded annual salaries of the staff dedicated to processing Airspace Waiver Applications.
