Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The overall burden for this collection has significantly increased from 8 hours and 1.67 responses in the previous renewal to 803 hours and 102 responses in this cycle. The significant increase of 795 hours total in the number of respondents and responses is due previously to the staff inadvertently miscalculating the number of respondents and responses for each requirement. Licensees under Sections 140.21(a) – (e) are adhering to the regulations by providing evidence of financial protection on an annual basis. This renewal reflects the actual expected respondents and responses during this clearance period and accounts for a better understanding of the regulations and effort required by the licensee to meet those regulations and will continued to be reviewed and applied in future renewals. A slight increase in cost is also due to the increase in fee rate, from $274/hour to $279/hour.
