Short Statement:
This is a revision of a currently approved information collection. The total negative case selection decreased from 38,970 cases in FY 2015 to 35,446 cases in FY 2019. This caused an adjustment in the overall burden from 115,514.87 hours in FY 2015 to 112,491.43 hours in FY 2019; a 3,022.97 hour decrease in overall burden. In addition, the number of responses increased from 77,940 to 177, 230. This change is primarily due to the correction of 1) which regulations must be included in the collection and 2) how to calculate the number of responses accurately based on the updated regulatory references.
