Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The estimated total annual burden hours decreased by 90,249 hours from 140,000 hours in 2018, to 49,751 hours in 2022. The decrease is due to two factors. First, the annual hourly burden estimate per respondent changed from 30 minutes for all reports in 2018, to, in 2022, (i) 15 minutes per report filed by travelers reporting transactions involving their own currency or monetary instruments, and (ii) 30 minutes per report filed by currency transporters reporting transactions on behalf of others. Second, the reduction in burden is a result of a decrease in the estimated annual CMIRs from 280,000 in 2018, to 184,709 in 2022.
