Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The burden for this information collection will decrease by 740 hours because of a reduction in the number of Agreement States participating in Section 274i reimbursable Agreements. The number of Agreement States dropped from 16 to 6, and 10 Agreement States are no longer active participants under this agreement. In addition, the estimated number of responses per respondent is expected to decrease from 6.5 to 5 responses per respondent because of an increased learning curve for the six remaining Agreement States and a change in reimbursable Section 274i Agreement materials security inspections and materials security information requirements.
