Burden Reduction Due to:
Short Statement:
The total respondent burden has decreased significantly because two information collections have been removed from the request. These collections covered updates that account holders can make to their Military Star card account, either in-person or online. Upon consideration, it was determined that such actions are not considered “information collections” under the Paperwork Reduction Act and have therefore been removed from the request. The burden estimates for the remaining information collections have not changed.
