Reductions result from reducing the number of cranes and derricks covered by a provions, the determination that some activities are usual and customary. While there was an overall reduction, some time estimates were increased, and several activities were now identified as collections of information. Also, the currently approved burden hour needs to be adjusted to 333,114.
