Short Statement: The total burden hours increased by approximately 9,700 hours and the total number of respondents increased by approximately 3.3 million respondents since our last approved burden. In the previous submission, we only counted individual transactions that were manually processed through the IQRS system. We did not account for batch transactions that were processed through an automated system called QRXS because there is no direct user burden. This time, we decided to include the number of batch queries and reports due to the large volume of automated transactions. For this reason, the burden table provides a more complete picture of our respondent numbers because it reflects manual (IQRS) and automatic (QRXS) transactions.
