Short Statement: Adjustments: Responses are in fact the same as previously, but due to an error in totaling, had been reported as 275 rather than 146 in the last request. There is an adjustment from $699.60 to $750.10 in recordkeeping/reporting costs, due to postal rate increases. However, in ROCIS, it appears as a decrease from $1,000, due to rounding up the cost when the collection was migrated to the system.
