Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The total time burden has decreased since the last renewal in 2022, from 347,703 hours to 2,050. This decrease is because the previous ICR estimated 3 minutes per record, inadvertently mixing up 3 minutes per entry with the total annual time for the record-keeping. This renewal corrects that error with a fairly high average estimate of 2 hours for these small respondents to make entries of all acquisitions and dispositions throughout the year. This renewal also revised downward the number of respondents to approximately 30 percent of the 51,278 Type 1, 2, and 3 licensees who would have to keep such records, to account for the fact that a vast majority of the transactions that occur each year -- and must be recorded -- are conducted by the largest entities, and they have electronic systems that auto-populate their A&D records from the business’s commerical transaction processes, thereby incurring no time burden from this ICR.
