Short Statement: The burden for this collection increased to account for items not listed in the previous collection. Specifically, there is a program change of +6 hours. The program change is due to the addition of the Service Agreement, activities concerning Alarm Notifications, Security Breach, Security Instructions, and the requirement to have a signed statement for facility employees. There is an adjustment of +1 hour resulting in re-calculations using Excel software rather than the former Informs software and because the annual respondents increased from 1 to 3 for the environment certification.
