• Note: The “Avg. Hourly Wage Rate” for each respondent includes a 1.4 multiplier to reflect a fully-loaded wage rate.

Question 14, costs to the Federal Government have not changed, because there continues to be no annual capital, start-up, operations and maintenance, or non-labor costs associated with this information collection.

Itemized Changes in Annual Cost Burden
Data collection Activity/Instrument	Program Change (cost currently on OMB Inventory)	Program Change (New)	Difference	Adjustment (cost currently on OMB Inventory)	Adjustment (New)	Difference
Property Owners Voluntary Participation Statements / FEMA Form 086-0-31				$61,331.20	0	-$61,331.20
States Review and Submit Deed Restrictions / No Form				$606,860.80	0	-$606,860.80
State Officials Reporting Requirements / No Form				$4,944.29	0	-$4,944.29
Total(s)				$673,136.29	0	-$673,136.29

Explain:

There are no capital, start-up or operations and maintenance costs associated with this information collection that would be reported in Item 14 of OMB Form 83-I, as stated in Item 13 of this Supporting Statement. There is no actual difference in the reportable costs associated with capital, start-up or operations and maintenance because there was none in 2011 and none currently. The adjustment in annual cost burden reflected in the table above is the difference between the erroneous costs reported in 2011, and the actual absence of capital, start-up or operations and maintenance costs associated with this information collection. It is clear in the OMB Form 83-I instructions for Item 14 that the costs identified in Item 14 must exclude the cost of hour burden identified in Item 13 [of Form 83-I]. The erroneous costs reported in 2011 were inconsistent with this instruction.
