This data collection is a continuation
of an ongoing program. Due to a previous error in submission of
annualized respondent burden (true annual respondent estimate
divided by 3 years of request resulting in annual respondent number
only 1/3 of expectation), the current submission appears to be an
increase, but is actually similar to previously obtained responses,
which were lower than previously expected (see footnote 2,
Supporting Statement B, item 1.1).
