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

Burden Reduction Due to: Using Information Technology

Short Statement: There has been a decrease in burden for the IPR Recordation Application due to a new online system that decreased the number of required responses, eliminated redundant questions, streamlined prompts, introduced text boxes instead of drop-down selections, included the option to upload documents instead of inputting text into non-required fields, and made the whole process simpler and more straight-forward for respondents. These improvements decreased the application time for respondents from 2 hours to 1 hour. The response time per respondent for IPR Donations were bifurcated depending on whether the donation concerns training or authentication technology. The response time per respondent for IPR Donations of training was estimated to be approximately 2 hour per respondent. The response time per respondent for IPR Donations of Authenticating Technology was re-estimated and increased from 2 hours to an average of 20 hours, recognizing that the donation application and approval procedure requires an iterative process between the donor and CBP in fine-tuning the specifications of the technological tool to be in compliance with CBP laws and regulations. This estimate is based on what donations of authentication technology CBP has received since implementation of the program and recognizes that response time will vary greatly depending on the type of tool being donated. Total annual burden was reduced from 4,100 to 2,240, resulting in an 1,860-hour reduction.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $431,700
