Burden Increase Due to:

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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The overall burden decreased by 409 hours from 1073 hours to 664 hours. The burden decrease is primarily due to more accurate burden estimates based on received data and fewer event driven reports and records being generated (e.g. foreign visits). The number of respondents was normalized to make licensees responsible for reporting for their cleared contractors who do not possess classified information and the reduction in cleared contractors generating reportable information. No new classes of licensees are expected to come under the rule and the number of cleared contractors to licensees is expected to remain relatively flat over the next 3 years. The hourly fee rates increased from $263/hr. to $279/hr. for professional effort in this clearance.
