Short Statement: The total annual hour burden in this ICR increased by 42,045 hours, from 1,166,337 hours to 1,208,382 hours. The total cost of this ICR increased by approximately $30,541,033, from $131,193,786 to $161,734,819. This increase in hours is due to the addition of the no-migration variance universe (from the "LDR 'No-Migration' Variances ICR", OMB Control No. 2050-0062) and revised estimates for the time required for respondents to respond. The increase in cost is due to the addition of the no-migration variance universe, as well as increase in costs due to inflation.
