Short Statement: The burden estimates are lower than during the last submission. In the case of the hour burden, the Department made projections on the use of the new form that turned out to be too high. Actual usage was lower than projected, and has been adjusted accordingly for this submission. Further, the Department expected to receive 15 percent of its inquiries through the mail and calculated the cost burden accordingly. In actuality, none of its inquiries were received through the mail, and the Department sees no reason why this will change in the future. The cost to the government has decreased because the costs included in the last submission reflected one-time start-up costs that are no longer applicable for this renewal.
