Respondent burden has declined
by 65,107 (121,293-56,186) hours from the previous OMB clearance.
This is because the monthly EIA-782B has been discontinued (program
change), resulting in reduction of 62,010 hours, and an reduction
of 3,098 hours due to dynamic population on several of other
surveys - the EIA-782C (+378), the EIA-821 (-3,771), and the
EIA-888 (+138) as indicated in Table A4.
