The burden has decreased by a total of 1,127 hours from the last submission. The decrease is the result of adjustments (both increases and decreases) based on data receive over the last three years received by FRA/the program expert responsible for the State Safety Particiaption Program. Total overall increases from adjusted estimates amounted to 616 hours. Total overall decreases from adjusted estimates amounted to 1,743 hours. [Please see the attached Supporting Justification for the itemized breakdown of increases and decreases.]
The current OMB inventory exhibits a total of 11,875 hours, while the present submission amounts to a total of 10,748 hours. Hence, there is a decrease of 1,127 hours.
***Although there is actually no change in burden costs to respondents ($30,000) from the previous submission, the OMB inventory for the last approved submission mistakenly had the cost to respondents listed as $28,846. This should have been corrected to $30,000 much earlier, but was not noticed until now.
