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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: Because ROCIS now allows us to separate the regulations into separate information collections, we are reporting the burdens per Regulation Section. In addition, we have removed several of the Reglation’s Sections that are coverd under other OMB information collections/SSA forms (see Addendum for specific information). Finally, Internal Revenue Service (IRS) forms (i.e., information collections cleared by IRS), are used to collect the information under several of the Regulation’s Sections (see Addundum for specific Sections); we have adjusted the burden to reflect this, placing a 1-hour place holder burden on those Sections.
