Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Using Information Technology

Short Statement: This is a request for a revision of the current collection with program change due to burden decrease based on technology advancements. Previously, FSA identified estimated total user account figures because of the need for users to update expired passwords or link to their legacy PIN account which created more burden. With the elimination of the need to update passwords, and more history of the actual use of the FSA ID system we are now showing estimated annual usage which creates a decrease in responses of 48,629,000 and a decrease in burden hours of 13,047,250.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $4,616,000
