Short Statement: The change in burden is actually a reduction/decrease instead of an increase. It may be because the previous ICR documents were removed before updated ones were added that an increase is being stated. The previous burden hours were estimated at 16,798 in 2023 and are now estimated at 2,540. The annual number of responses were estimated at 59,590 and are now estimated at 2,360. The decrease is the result of streamlining and removal of forms (surveys, feedback forms) that are no longer required due to program policy changes and stakeholder input.
