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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The annual number of responses decreased for both exports and imports because of fewer respondents in Initiation and in Repricing. Budget cuts have resulted in a reduction in Field and National Office Economists which forces IPP to scale back the number of companies selected for sampling. The lower number of responses in Initiation reflects smaller sample sizes projected for upcoming years while the lower number in Repricing reflects smaller sample sizes in previous years. (The number of respondents in Repricing is impacted by the past number of respondents in Initiation.)

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $21,000,000
