The increase in burden hours is due to a combination of the revised number of submissions, a re-estimation of the time it takes to complete some of the responses, and 14 requirements being added into this collection as a result of recent rulemaking activities. The increase in costs for new items being added into the collection is partially offset by a decrease in costs due to expected decreases in filings from existing items.
