This is a revision to an
approved information collection resulting in a decrease in the
number of respondents and responses (2400 to 2000) and burden hours
(561 to 287). The decrease in respondents and responses is due to a
change in the affected public. Initially NAD had
individuals/households, farms, businesses, and not for profits. NAD
realized that when we send the survey it is addressed to the
individuals not a business or farm and more than likely, we
overestimated the number of respondents. So, therefore, we are
changing the affected public to individuals/households only. The
burden hours decrease due to changing the per response time from 20
minutes to 10 minutes. A statistical review revealed respondents
took an average of 10 minutes to complete the survey and not 20
minutes.
