The current OMB inventory for
this collection is 46,136 burden hours. In this submission, we are
requesting, 46,466 hours. This represents an adjustment increase of
330 hours due to re-estimating the number of responses, times the
hour burden submitted by respondents in A.8. The current OMB
non-hour cost burden inventory is $1,361,176. In this submission,
we are requesting a total of $1,077,816. This represents an
adjustment decrease of $283,360. The decrease is due to less vent
meters needing to be purchased from the previous 3-year collection
and re-estimating the average number of annual responses.
