The 2010 numbers entered into ROCIS were incorrect; therefore the "Change Due to Adjustment in Agency Estimate" numbers include the corrections.
There is an overall adjustment of +5,713 in burden hours. This is partially due to a shift in the type of claims being adjudicated to those that require the submission of more information. There has also been an increase in the operation and maintenance cost of +$25,772. This is partially due to mailing costs increasing.
The only change to any of the forms in this renewal was to the form EE/EN-20. The only changes were the deletion of the option to request payment by paper check, per Treasury's instructions.
