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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The use of Recreation.gov to accept applications caused a 35% (n=122,751) net increase in the annual number of permits and hangtags issued which corresponds 31% (n=12,221) net increase in the burden hours. Since the last renewal cycle, we did not receive any applications originating from State, Local, or Tribal governments. Employees of State, Local and Tribal governments must follow the same guidance and instructions as individual respondents. Therefore, removing this category of respondents causes a net decrease of 1,756 responses and 195 burden hours. However, we will note, that these respondents are now included to estimate the burden for respondents listed under “individuals and households.”

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $1,686,984
