Decrease in burden hours reflects an update to the method of estimating the number of respondents and the annual frequency. This purpose statement is used by creditors as an internal documentation tool and is not submitted to the Federal Reserve. The estimated number of respondents is derived from the 2007 U.S. Census Bureau's Statistical Abstract of the United States and information obtained from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. The annual frequency is based on an approximate number of new and renewed loans secured by margin stock.
