Burden Increase Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: We are requesting OMB approval to split Form 3-200-55 into two forms: Form 3-200-59, "Recovery Permit Application" and Form 3-200-60, "Interstate Commerce Permit Application." We are also requesting OMB approval to automate both new forms in the Service's ePermits System expected to go live in September, 2020. The requested changes would result in a slight decrease of 160 hours in the approved hourly burden for this collection.
