Short Statement: The earlier calculation had an overlong estimate for the amount of time needed to complete the form. Also, the previous submission incorrectly included the number of responding PHAs in the calculation and also incorrectly assumed that 100% of households would be reviewing or initiating a lease. The correction of the errors brought the number of burden hours down to 325,046.
