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

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: The increase is mainly attributable to the higher use of Query forms (i.e., Continuous Query, Self-Query on an Individual, One-Time Query for an Individual, and One-time Query for an Organization). For items where there is a burden reduction, it is typically due to a reduction in the number of people responding based off responses received in prior years.
