Burden Increase Due to:

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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The decrease in the annual number of responses is due in part to the use of revised methodology for counting Federal source document responses. To better reflect the Federal agency burden, the number of data files submitted by a Federal agency is used for the number of responses rather than the total number of fatality reports as was done in previous estimates. These calculations are based on the maximum value over the five-year period from 2007-2011 to account for any additional increase in future years. The overall decrease in the burden hour estimate reflects an overall decrease in the number of fatal occupational injuries during this period, which resulted in fewer source documents and followback questionnaires received.
