Short Statement: The Department is assuming that a significant change in public burden estimates have occurred since the last approved ICR (Sept 2014) due to the decrease in expected burden hours. The burden per response was lowered for these instruments based on historical CSAT data. The Department assumes that Site Security Officers (SSOs) are responsible for submitting the instruments associated with this collection.
