Respondents decreased from 156 to 95 due to re-evaluating past requests received during the 3 year period. However, the burden hours increased by 727 burden hours. The increase was a result of re-evaluating the time required to submit the final agency determination and accounting for Manager's Bulletin MGR-05-018 that was issued in 2005 and had not been accounted for in the previous package.
