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

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: Previous submissions of this information collection request did not consider duplicate respondents (the same respondent responding to multiple collection instruments). This has now been taken in to account, altering the burden and making it more accurate. This has resulted in a significant decrease in total responses and a corresponding decrease in cost burden. Total time burden has not changed significantly because the same amount of time is being spent completing the information collections. It is just spread out over less respondents. The removal of two forms has also contributed to a decrease in burden. These are the only changes that are not simply a result of calculation changes.
