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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The total burden of 146,977 hours is down 26,313 hours from the current inventory of 173,290 hours. This decrease is due to several factors: by redesigning the CAPS surveys we were able to decrease the estimated number of minutes it takes to complete each questionnaire; we were also able to reduce the overall CAPS sample sizes by 90,000 operations per year; reductions in frequency and sample sizes were also incurred on several of the smaller surveys.
