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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The burden hours decreased by 893 hours from 1,883 to 990 hours as a result of the introduction of the agency’s Web-based Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) in 2004, which has made the agency’s public documents accessible to all Internet access users. Since the deployment of Web-based ADAMS to the public, there has been a decrease in the number of requests from the public to duplicate documents. Based on the number of requests received during the current clearance period, we estimate a 50% decrease in the number of requests during this 3-year renewal period.
