Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The total burden for the NPS collection under 1121-0102 appears to increase by 252 hours because we are requesting that the burden from OMB number 1121-0078 be added to 1121-0102. At the same time we are eliminating the hours requested under 1121-0078 and reducing the burden from three forms to two for a net savings of 76.5 hours per year to collect NPS data.
