Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: Modifications to the General Submission, Amendment, and Annual Review Forms, resulted in an overall net decrease of 31 respondents and a net decrease of 186 hours from our previously approved request for these forms. The discontinued use of the exhibitor’s form, due to clarification in the scope and responsibilities of the IACUC oversight of activities in NPS units which do not extend to exhibition activities. This caused program change with decreased the overall number of respondents by 20 respondent and the burden by 60 hours. The addition of the new Concurrence Form and Field Study/BioBlitz Forms added 91 new respondents and 38 new burden hours.
