Short Statement: The importer document (written statement) burden input as 2,200 for the number of respondents was a clerical error. This line item has a new total of 20 respondents, however the number of responses per respondent is 110, making the total annual response remain at 2,200 for this renewal package. In addition, an appeal process for the compliance agreement was erroneously omitted from the previous information collection which has also been added. Overall, these adjustments have caused an increase of 62 annual responses (from 2,340 to 2,402) with a decrease of 3 total burden hours (from 94 to 91).
