Short Statement: DOE is submitting this change to request an increase in burden hours and respondents. When this ICR was originally submitted, the estimated burden hours and respondents were derived from the amount of customer satisfaction surveys DOE produced in the 5 years prior to this new fast track process. Due to a tremendous increase of interest in the fast track process, DOE programs are creating more customer satisfaction surveys than originally anticipated. DOE would like to request an increase of respondents from 2,220 to 10,000 and an increase of burden hours from 111,000 to 200,000
