There are no program changes associated with this generic clearance. As for adjustments, TTB is increasing the number of potential respondents and resulting burden hours for the information collections issued under this generic clearance from 10,000 to 25,000 because TTB plans to issue more customer surveys and other feedback information collections than it has in the past, and it plans to issue those collections to larger respondent pools.
