Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: We are requesting 2,499 responses, totaling 18,796 annual burden hours for this collection. We are reporting a program change of 3 requests totaling 3 burden hours. Upon closer examination of our permit regulations at 50 CFR 17, we found three additional minor information collection requirements that we did not include in our previously approved information collection. The net decrease of 153 responses and 962 burden hours from our previous request is a result of using a different method to estimate the number of respondents and responses for this ICR. In previous renewal requests, we queried our permit database for the numbers of permits issued annually to estimate the number of respondents and responses, for this 2007 renewal request we used existing data to make our estimate. We used the numbers of permits issued that were previously reported to us by our Regional Offices under our FY 07 annual Government Performance Results Act (GPRA) data call for this 2007 information collection renewal request. We believe this represents a more realistic estimate of burden. We estimate the nonhour burden costs for this ICR to be $55,000, which is a $38,000 reduction from our previous request. This reduction is primarily because our previous request erroneously included application processing fees for exempt entities.
