We project a decrease in the
number of burden hours in this request for generic approval from
that requested in our previous submission in 2003. Three years ago,
we projected 22,692 hours in 2004, 23,022 hours in 2005, and 23,022
hours in 2006 or a yearly average of 22,912. As mentioned above, we
are now estimating 19,505 hours per year for 2007 through 2009 or
an average of 19,505 hours per annum. This represents an annual
decrease of 3,407 hours when comparing the two submissions.
