Short Statement: Current inventory report covering these documents continues to incorrectly indicate an annual hour burden, despite the fact that OMB advised OGE previously NOT to report both an hourly burden and a cost burden. OGE submitted to OMB an 83-C form to change this figure to zero in June 2005, again in May 2007, and again in OGE's September 2007 ICR submission. An extended explanation is included in the Supporting Statement Item 12.
