Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The amount of time for a respondent to draft and submit a request has gone down by 50% from an average of 10 hours to an average of 5 hours, dues to changes in the request process and forms. However, the number of requests per year has increased from two to ten because more people are able to digitize records than microfilm them. Each respondent now spends half the time and half the cost but the total burden for all respondents has gone up because of the increase in total number of respondents.
