Justification for Proposed Changes to Approved Survey Instrument
LMSB contracts with Pacific Consulting Group to administer the survey and analyze the results. PCG subcontracts with Schulman, Ronca, Bucuvalis, Inc (SRBI) to conduct the data gathering via telephone from a scripted survey.
On return of the data to PCG from SRBI it was discovered that the actual time taken for a taxpayer to respond to the survey was substantially longer than previous experience. Therefore the estimated burden hours in the original request for survey approval were understated.
The change to the original document is limited to the paragraph “Estimated Burden Hours.”
Originally:
total hours would be 286 hours.
Industry Customers 1200 x 10 minutes/60 = 200 hours
Coordinated Industry Customers 200 x 10 minutes/60 = 33 hours
Combined Non-Response Customers 1052 x 3 minutes/60 = 53 hours.*
Amended:
total hours would be 448 hours.
Industry Customers 1200 x 15.5 minutes/60 = 310 hours
Coordinated Industry Customers 200 x 25.5 minutes/60 = 85 hours
Combined Non-Response Customers 1052 x 3 minutes/60 = 53 hours.*
