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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The overall burden has decreased from 89,240.6 hours to 89,222.1 hours, a decrease of 18.4 hours. The change in the overall burden estimate is due to an adjustment in burden estimates for one reporting requirement and three recordkeeping requirements. These estimates were adjusted to more standard increments (for example, the estimate for 70.59 was updated from 5.1 to 5.0 hours and the estimates for 70.32(e) and (g) were updated from 0.2 to 0.25 hours). The overall change in burden was not substantial in light of overall Part 70 burden totals. The number of Part 70 licensees has not changed. The number of respondents and the number of responses remain unchanged from the previous submission.
