The current estimated annual hour burden is 2400 hours, resulting in an increase, program change, of 192 hours. The prior collection activity was based on 23 disasters per year. The average of the last two years increased to 30 disasters, therefore the change is due to increase in average number of disasters per year. This is now separated into a new collection for this one form.
