Short Statement: The change in burden is an ADJUSTMENT due to a change (i.e., increase) in the estimated responses and annual burden time. There has been an increase of 3 responses and increase in the burden time per response by 8 minutes for the CG-4509. Thus increasing the annual burden time by 2 hours. There has been an increase of 3,540 responses and an increase in the burden time by 10 minutes for the Great Lakes Management System. Thus increasing the annual burden time by 400 hours. There is no proposed change to the reporting or recordkeeping requirements of this collection. The reporting and recordkeeping requirements, and the methodology for calculation burden, remain unchanged.
