Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: The agency made two adjustments, both due to adjustments in agency estimates. The agency had previously incorrectly calculated the burden hours based on 4, rather than 5, required annual submissions. As a result the burden increased by 1085 hours. On the other hand, the agency had inadvertently overstated the number of hours per response. Correcting this error, decreased the burden by 1899 hours. The ROCIS system apparently handles this type of double error correction by recording the second error under agency discretion. ROCIS also recorded the number of hours in the first correction as 1899 so that the two error would cancel each other out and result in the accurate total hours requested, which is 7,595.
