Burden increases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Increase Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: 18 line items and code reference were deleted. The prior burden IRS shows was 134,847, so we are showing a net decrease in burden of 79,793 hours. ROCIS showed a previous burden of 48,085 which we have determined to be erroneous. So even though there is a decrease in line items, burden on ROCIS is shown to increase. IRS shows it as a decrease. Burden was also lowered (per IRS records, not ROCIS) to account for business filers only, which apparently was never reflected on ROCIS, or reflected erroneously.
