Changes in the estimates: There is an adjustment decrease in the estimated burden and cost as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. The decrease is not due to any program changes. The change in burden is due to an industry decline since the last ICR renewal, resulting in a decrease in the number of respondent subject to the standard.
