The overall burden reduction is
due primarily to two program changes: the monthly milk production
surveys were changed into quarterly surveys and the discontinuing
of several smaller supplemental price surveys resulted in a
decrease of 2,627 burden hours. In addition, two minor adjustments
caused an increase in burden of 7 hours (estimated sample sizes and
estimated time of completion for the dairy products surveys).
Resulting in a net decrease of 2,620 hours of burden.
