ICR Summary of Burden

	Total Request	Previously Approved	Change Due to New Statute	Change Due to Agency Discretion	Change Due to Adjustment in Estimate	Change Due to Potential Violation of the PRA
Annual Number of Responses	8,143	0	0	2,374	5,769	0
Annual Time Burden (Hours)	87,628	0	0	80,044	7,584	0

Burden increases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Increase Due to: Changing Regulations

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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The program changes and/or adjustments are as follows: This ICR deals with ten of BSEE’s already approved ICR’s. The currently approved burden hours represent 197,483 hours and $102,500 non-hour cost burdens. New or revised requirements are considered program changes and they represent 87,628 burden hours and no new/additional non-hour cost burdens. NOTE: The Number of responses in the "Change Due to Adjustment in Agency Estimate" are overstated 3,312 responses. This is because the changes in Subpart B, APDs, and APM increased the burden hours per response but did not increase the number of responses. Due to ROCIS limitations we had to add those responses into the corresponding Information Collections to ensure the burden hours are reflected correctly. This issue will be resolved when the changes are incorporated into the original 10 ICRs noted above.
