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.
