Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: This is a revision of a currently approved data collection. There is a decrease of the total number of respondents from 52 to 53. Currently there are 53 State Agencies; however, only 52 have incorporated the options covered by this collection which captures actual data not estimates. A total of 18 State agencies have incorporated a methodology for determining the cost of doing business in self-employment cases. This is an increase from 10 to 18 States from the previous revision of this collection in 2010. Therefore, the increase in the number of respondents reflects a program change and burden increase from 236 hours (current OMB inventory) to 316 hours requested, a difference of 80 burden hours.
