Burden increases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Increase Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Using Information Technology

Short Statement: The number of respondents line was increased to 4,200, versus 2,200 in 2006. We reduced the number of phone call respondents from 1,300 surveys to 600 surveys. We know, from recent survey results, that the phone survey participation rate will be lower than what we had projected in 2006. However, the e-mail response has been more than we estimated, and we added chat service to that web survey, so we increased our web survey estimate from 900 to 3,600. The annual hours line was increased to 270 (from 119) because of the increased use of the web survey and the inclusion of chat service to the web survey.
