Burden Increase Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The apparent decrease in annual responses is due a change in method for counting responses. In previous information collection requests, return declarations were counted separately from (initial) declaration. However, return declarations are required for all declarations. Therefore, return declarations are included in the count and burden for declarations in this and future information collection requests. Adjusting for this change, there is a small increase in annual responses and annual burden hours. The increase in the burden dollars is due to increase in burden hours and a change in calculation method. In prior information collection requests, the estimated cost burden was considered as “a usual and customary business expense not directly associated with this information collection.” The DEA believes the estimated cost burden associated with this information collection should be included. This change in calculation method is employed in this and future information collection requests.
