Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There are no program changes. There are no adjustments in per-response times (i.e., 10 hours per response). We have made adjustments in numbers of responses and in non-hour cost burdens. The adjustments in numbers of responses resulted in an increase in the total burden hours (from 210 to 240 hours). The adjustments in non-hour costs are due to the erroneous entry of hour-related costs as non-hour costs in the previous information collections, as well as to the adjustments in numbers of responses.
