Short Statement: The decrease in burden is due to a decrease in respondents from 350 (currently) to 220 respondents (350-220=130). 130x12x3=4,680 hours (adjustment). Since this is no longer a new survey, there is a decrease in hours because no startup hours are needed: 350x25/3=2,917 hours (program change). The total burden decreased by 7,597 hours (4,680+2,917).
