The change in burden hours is an ADJUSTMENT.  There is no proposed
change to the reporting or recordkeeping requirements of this
collection.  The reporting and recordkeeping requirements and the
methodology for calculating burden remain unchanged.

The following listed below are changes to the collection:

Decrease in burden (respondents/responses/burden hours) is due to a
change in the average number of recall campaigns conducted during last
21 years (decrease in respondents (-10), burden hours (-45)). 

The total number of annual responses has been added to the supporting
statement.

Burden hours and costs have been amended to show annual figures based on
an average three year campaign timeframe.  

Updates are provided for cost burden associated with this collection of
information.
