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

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: The decrease in estimated annual burden is due to a decrease in the respondent frame. The EIA-111 respondents who were issued export authorizations and/or presidential permits must report until those permits expire or are rescinded. Export authorizations can expire after five years, ten years, or when the affiliated transmission facility is decommissioned. Presidential permits are valid until the affiliated transmission facility is decommissioned. The net change in new permits being issued, expiring permits, and the renewal of existing permits has resulted in a decrease in respondents and the estimated annual burden.
