SAMHSA proposes a new
annualized burden hours of 4,064, an increase of 1,120 hours from
the prior estimate of 2,944 annualized burden hours. Proposed
change in the burden hours is due to new elements due to the
addition of new cohort activity expansion requirements. Also, some
elements, such as demographic data collection, have been added due
to required activities in congressional appropriation which were
not incorporated into previous cohort activities.
