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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: While the number of respondents has not changed, we adjusted the response time from 26 min to 25 min (more specifically, 0.416 hr). Consequently, the total annual response time has been adjusted from 25,990 min to 24,960 min. The decrease in the burden cost by $14,770.40 results from an increase in printing costs, the hourly rate of pay for SSA employees who process the CMS-43 as well as errors in the cost calculations on the last Supporting Statement provided in 2009. The burden increases by $2,692 over the last submission because of the increase in printing costs. However, this increase is offset by a decrease of $17,462.40 from the last submission because of errors in the cost calculations. In addition, the hourly rate of payment from the SSA representatives collecting and processing the information has increased by $0.41 from $26.90 per hour to $27.31 per hour.
