Burden Increase Due to:

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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The decrease in the number of burden hours results from a change in the methodology used to estimate burden. The fact that most of the Federal agencies reporting to BLS send data files or administrative records was factored into the burden estimates. In addition, the estimate of the number of source documents received annually was reduced based on the actual number of reports received for 2004-06. The course document count used in these estimates now exclude media reports for which there is not public burden.
