Burden Increase Due to:

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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The reported burden decrease in burden is based on an examination of forms downloaded from the Fiscal Service website, the distribution of printed copies over the past 3-4 years, and an analysis of service request data provided by the program office responsible for processing such cases. Analysis of recent activity indicates a decline in requests of this nature attributed to the elimination of paper savings bonds and increase of services offered in the TreasuryDirect system which does not offer voluntary guardian registration. The decrease of 166 hours is an adjustment in agency estimate for a total of 167 burden hours requested.
