Burden Reduction Due to:
Short Statement:
This request reflects a very minor decrease in the total estimated respondent burden of six hours (from 363,523 hours to 363,517 hours) from that currently in the OMB inventory. This decrease is due to the net of minor mathematical rounding errors in the detailed burden calculations by activity and does not represent a substantive change in the program or in the universe of respondents. The change is an adjustment.
