There have been no program
changes from the prior submission. The change in burden estimates
derives solely from updating of the estimates of respondents and
adjustments to the time estimated necessary for this information
collection. The number of respondents has been updated from 10,600
to 9,750 based on information received from the SEC, NASD and FDIC.
In addition, the Department has adjusted the estimated time for the
information collection requirement from five minutes of clerical
time to ten minutes of professional time per respondent to more
accurately reflect the recordkeeping hour burden.
