Short Statement: The number of respondents has been adjusted from 2,748, the previously estimated number of registrants who export defense articles, to 1,405, the most recent estimate, adjusting the total annual responses from 53,170 to 26,253. The adjusted numbers accord with the trend of annual increase in defense trade activity, but the reduced number of license applications submitted as a result of Export Control Reform. As a result, the total annual hours requested for this collection has been adjusted from 53,170 to 26,253. The revised respondent number is a more accurate figure taken directly from the DDTC database, while the reduced number of license applications accords with the decrease in defense trade licensing. As for the form DSP-5, there is one small change based on public comment, block 4 will be removed from the form.
