There is an adjustment to the
number of students requiring verification. Because of the aging of
the black lung population, there are fewer students age 18 and over
who are attending school full-time. Since the number of forms
represent approximately twice the number of students age 18 and
over, with student status verified once each term, there is a
corresponding reduction of forms and burden hours to the public.
The number of respondents has decreased from 500 to 400. The number
of burden hours has decreased from 84 hours to 67 hours, which
resulted in an adjustment of -17 burden hours.
