Burden Increase Due to:

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

Burden Reduction Due to: Using Information Technology

Short Statement: The current generic clearance authority for 198,205 hours of average annual burden expires on June 30, 2011. As shown in table 1, this request for an extension projects a total respondent burden of 186,002 hours for a decrease of 6.1 percent. This slight decrease reflects the slightly lower projection in caseload for this requested period (July 2011-June 2014) vis-a-vis to the previous period (July 2008-June 2011). One difference in case projections is the decline in review investigations as the Commission will complete the third round of transition cases in this period. Moreover, improvements in data collection (e.g., questionnaires issued in a filleable Word document and the ability to upload questionnaire electronically via a secure dropbox) increase efficiency by reducing time for companies to copy and mail questionnaires thus, also contributing to the slightly lower estimate
