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

Burden Increase Due to: Changing Regulations

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

Burden Reduction Due to: Changing Regulations

Short Statement: The current OMB inventory includes 5,884 annual burden hours for the related collection of information. We expect the burden estimate for the proposed rule will be 1,382 responses and 5,166 hours, which reflects a decrease of 10,360 responses and 718 hour burdens. Additionally, there is a decrease of $1,510,000 in the non-hour cost burden. Details of these changes are found in the supporting statement.
