Short Statement: The total number of responses, 11,841, represents a 6% increase of 691 responses from the 2016 submission of 11,150 responses over the three-year period. Application activity has increased year to year over this period. The new total number of responses is the result of projecting the number of applications for FY20, based on the number of applications approved/certified in FY16-FY19. The net decrease in the estimated burden per activity is because we recalculated the respondent burden based upon the comments and reviews received in question 8 in the 2019 SSA.
