program assessment that addresses the impact of Hurricane Katrina.
Any lessons learned from recent hurricanes should be referenced in
the program assessment and implemented in both the program and
collection. The annualized cost to respondents and the number of
responses has been updated to correspond with the data provided in
the supporting statement.
