Short Statement: This is a revision of a currently approved collection. There is a small adjustment in total estimated burden hours associated with this revision. The previously approved collection erred in estimating half a response annually per respondent, which resulted in a lower number of approved burden hours (46 hours) than was appropriate for this collection. This revision reflects a more accurate estimate of the one annual response per respondent which increased the burden to (92 hours) for State agencies in reporting and maintaining records of this information
