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

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: This is a request for extension, with change, of a previously approved collection . The reduction in burden is primarily due to decrease in the estimated number of respondents, down from the 2,000 estimated in 2017. The number of responses has decreased since previous submittals due to a decrease in permit decisions. Furthermore, we have a more refined estimate in the number of submittals from previous submittals since responses are all electronic and we can quantify the number of submittals.
