OMB directives required that
EEOICPA implement two additions to this ICR which required two new
forms EE-12 and EE-13 which is a program change of +2,149 burden
hours. There has also been an overall adjustment of -8,080 in
burden hours due to a decrease in the number of claimants. There
has also been a decrease in the operation and maintenance cost
since mail outs are only for the EE-1 and EE-2 which is a decrease
from $22,000 to $4,629.
