Short Statement: The change in the number of burden hours between 2005 and 2008 is because of a miscalculation in 2005. The number of estimated burden hours remains the same at 60 hours per respondent but the miscalculation in 2005 showed a total of 180 hours for four respondents per year instead of 240 hours. The changes in cost are based on the changes in hourly rates from 2005 to 2008 for the respondents’ employees and those of the Federal Government.
