Short Statement: (a) The current OMB inventory for this collection includes 18,256 burden hours. In this submission, we are requesting a total of 37,084 hours. This represents an increase of 18,828 hours which resulted from a decrease of 1,296 hours by eliminating a duplicative approval that is covered by OMB control #1010-0151 and an increase of 20,124 hours due to re-estimating the average number of annual responses and the amount of time required to respond. (b) The current OMB non-hour cost burden inventory is $40,032. In this submission, we are requesting a total of $39,589. This represents an adjustment decrease of $443 relating to receiving fewer DWOPs from the last OMB submission.
