Short Statement:
There is an increase in burden hours and a decrease in the number of respondents for this IC. The increase in burden hours from 5,029,164 to 13,108,480 is due to using the most recent projections and also because the total hours per response increased from 1.5 hours to 8 hours per response. The decrease in the number of respondents is due to the downturn in the economy which has caused the number of imports to drop drastically from 3,352,776 to 81,928.
