Requests of this nature have
begun to decline with the introduction of TreasuryDirect and will
continue to decline as a result of the discontinuation of the sale

responses resulted in a decrease of 2,400 hours attributed to a
program change due to agency discretion. Total burden hours
requested this submission is 24,000.
