Short Statement:
The difference in burden is due to an agency adjustment, specifically an increase in the number of respondents. Previously, EOIR estimated 100,870 respondents annually. At present, there are approximately 165,614 respondents annually. As the number of hours per response remained the same (6 minutes), the total burden hours increased from 10,087 to 16,561 burden hours, for a difference of 6,474 burden hours. Because of the higher number of respondents, the cost burden similarly increased to reflect the adjustment for the number of applicants.
