Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: This request includes a merger with 0579-0445 which adds an estimated 10 responses and 6 hours of burden. There is a net increase of 81,415 responses and 12,947 hours. These increases are attributed to realigning State responses to Business responses for activities where the State reviewed the Business’ submissions, the addition of five new activities related to compartment and component registrations and auditing, another requiring site visitors to sign compliance statements, the adding of businesses as respondents to the Printing and Mailing activity, and ending a State reporting activity. Many of the adjustments are also related to the recalculating the number of state respondents, capping the total to 49.
