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

Burden Reduction Due to: Changing Forms

Short Statement: Implementing "Attestation" requires the creation of new Form AA-3sum. We anticipate 7,100 of the 10,800 applicants currently using the AA-3cert to sign in pen and ink, will use "Attestation," resulting in a decrease in the number of Forms AA-3cert used to 3,700. We also propose that using "Attestation" will take one minute less to complete, decreasing the burden by 318, from 5,642 to 5,324. We have shown the decrease in burden hours as a program change.
