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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The total number of responses decreased from 2,500 to 2,300 for an adjustment of -200. The total burden hour estimate has decreased since the last clearance from 833 hours to 767 burden hours for an adjustment of -66 hours. The decrease in total responses is due to the aging population of our beneficiaries. Most of our beneficiaries are in the advanced age of life, many with other ailments in addition to having black lung disease. With having so many beneficiaries in the advanced age of life, we lose many due to death.
