Short Statement: With FOIA requesters increasingly wishing to have their requests processed electronically, RIDS needs this system as it continues to increase the speed of opening requests, while providing greater accountability and reducing the administrative time it takes to process FOIA request. Due to a typo in the last renewal, this IC is incorrectly displaying a decrease in burden when in reality it should be an increase (from 400 to 2,745). The previous Annual Time Burden (Hr) should have been 400 which would make the new burden of 2,745 an increase. Instead the number of responses (11,000) was filled in its place and now makes the collection appear to have decreased its burden. The system won't allow us to manually change the decrease to an increase so I wanted to make the discrepancy known.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $114,168
