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

Burden Reduction Due to: Changing Forms

Short Statement: Implementing "Attestation" requires the creation of new Form AA-1sum. We anticipate 9,100 of the 14,000 applicants currently using the AA-1cert, will use "Attestation," resulting in a decrease in the number of Forms AA-1cert used to 4,900. We also propose that using "Attestation" will take one minute less to complete, decreasing the burden by 152 hours, from 9,271 to 9,119. We have shown the decrease in burden hours as a program change.
