Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The small increase in costs comes from an increase in requestors during the past three years, thus raising our annual estimate, and an increase in the cost of postage. We did make changes to the form’s design and arrangement to assist the user in providing more accurate and complete information, to streamline the ability for requesters who are the subject of the requested record to receive unredacted copies, and to enable us to provide electronic responses and services, which may have been part of the cause for the increase in requests.
