Burden Reduction Due to:
Short Statement:
The decrease to the reported burden is due to an examination of forms distributed by the Bureau of the Fiscal Service or downloaded from the TreasuryDirect website since the last renewal cycle. Since December 2012, Series EE and I Savings Bonds are only available in electronic form unless a Series I Bond is purchased with a tax refund. The amount of bonds deposited for safekeeping is proportionate to the reduced amount of paper bonds issued, thus leading to a decrease in the respondents using FS Form 4239.The decrease of 1267 hours is an adjustment in agency estimate for a total of 233 burden hours requested.
