Short Statement: Based on our experience in administering this program, we adjusted our estimate of the number of responses from two to one, which resulted in a decrease of 3,200 burden hours (from 6,400 to 3,200 hours). We increased our estimate of the nonhour burden cost to $25,000 per application. However, because we have decreased the number of responses, the result is a decrease of $9,000 from our previous submittal.
