Short Statement: Rule 3a71-3 is adopted and in effect. However, the compliance date for Rule 3a71-3 is dependent upon the adoption of another rule that has been proposed, but not yet adopted. As a consequence, no entity is currently required to comply with Rule 3a71-3, and the previously approved burdens and costs were not incurred. There is no change in burden because the staff has not changed its estimates of the burdens and costs the respondents will incur when the compliance date is in effect. The number of responses and number of ICs have doubled because for this renewal we split out the initial burdens and costs from the ongoing burdens and costs. They were combined in the original PRA.
