cemetery and do not negatively impact the safety of cemetery visitors. An agency may
not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to a collection of
information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
The burden decreased since the previous approval due to a decrease in the number of
respondents and responses. The number of respondents declined to 303 from the
previous approval of 380 respondents in 2022. Due to fewer respondents, the cost to

respondent cost savings. The cost to the Federal Government decreased due to the
annual responses and printing cost declining since the previous approval.
