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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: This submission requests an adjustment increase of 200 additional annual responses totaling 600 additional burden hours. This adjustment is due to the increased number of volunteers and states involved in the surveys. The difference represents the results of where we fine-tuned the number of respondents based on our experience in administering this collection along with the types of respondent feedback, discussions, and interactions as described in our answer to item 8 in Supporting Statement A. The cost adjustment for this collection is based on the increased number of respondents and the estimate of new respondents purchasing thermometers for data sampling, resulting in a cost burden increase of $3,860.
