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

Burden Increase Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

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

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: The bulk of the decrease results from a correction in the burden hours for the training activity. The previous submission included the total time for the training to take place rather than just the time required to request the training. The other changs involved the decrease in expected appeals filing. There has been a slight increase in the number of respondents, but this was more than offset by the above explained decreases. Also, the last ROCIS submission had all burden information aggregated and it is now split among the data collection instruments.
