Explain: Based on the revised estimated Annual Hours Burden, the Annual Cost Burden would decrease from $654,040 to $577,069 without the 1.4 multiplier factored in. However, there has been an overall increase in the total Annual Cost Burden due to the incorporation of the 1.4 multiplier on the wage rates. The Annual Cost Burden at the time of the last PRA submission was $654,040, the new Annual Cost Burden is $811,524 and the net increase is +$157,484.
