Since the last submission to OMB, the number of respondents for the certification requirement decreased from 1,307 to 1,107 (-200), as a result, this decreased the overall total number of responses from 4,148 to 3,948 (-200) and decreased the overall total annual burden hours from 60,576 to 60,476 hours to 554 (-100). These adjustments/decreases are due to changes in the marketplace.
