Short Statement: While Form CA-2a has been revised, those changes are not expected to have a material effect on the time and cost burdens for this information collection. There are currently 6273 recurrences being submitted, a decrease of 7323 claims. There is a decrease of 366 in the number of claims being submitted by claimants who have left federal employment (i.e., 5% of 6273 = 314 versus the last submission of 680 (5% of 13,596 = 680. This results in a burden hour reduction of 183 (366 x .50) in this submission. The reporting burden hours in the previous submission were 340 and have changed to 157. The operation and maintenance costs have decreased $151.00 due to a reduction in the filing of claims (.47 x 314 = 148) versus $299 (.44 x 680 = 299), from the previous submission. The noted decreases described above are attributed to enhanced computer capabilities to track recurrence claims.
