Short Statement: The instant cumulative burden estimate of 1,238,670 hours is reduced from the FTC’s prior cleared burden estimate in 2013 of 1,320,796. Estimated annual non-labor cost is reduced from $5,102,718 to $4,757,647. These reductions are largely attributable to staff’s reduced estimates for the number of telemarketing entities subject to the TSR, based on updated National Registry data.
