There have been no changes to
the information being collected. The burden for the SF315 (TSP
Request for Service Users) Form has increased due to better
estimates, and the annual cost burden to respondents and annual
government cost has increased due to increased wage rates and
compensation factors. The estimated number of respondents for the
SF315 Form has increased from 27,000 to 37,505. This update results
in an annual increase in the burden estimates by 10,505 responses
and 2,626 burden hours. There has been an increase in the estimated
annual cost burden to respondents (question 12) from $243,259 to
$503,681 due to the increases in the number of respondents for form
SF315 and an increase in the average hourly compensation rates
during the past 3 years. There has been a decrease in the estimated
annual government costs (question 14) from $391,124 to $370,265 due
to the change in the labor mix during the past 3 years.
