Burden Reduction Due to:
Miscellaneous Actions
Short Statement:
The primary factor in the reduced totals is staffs newly accounting for an estimated number of low-risk entities under section 114 that do not have covered accounts (9,191,496), which is the large bulk of low-risk entities. As the Red Flags Rule does not require entities that determine that they do not have any covered accounts to create a written Program, they are appropriately excluded from the revised PRA burden calculations.
Annual Cost to Federal Government:
$15,600
