Short Statement: This is a revision of a currently approved collection. The current burden inventory for this information collect is 92 burden hours. This request reflects an overall decrease of -83 burden hours (-46 reporting burden hours). This decrease reflects program changes with the annual reporting burden which was transferred to OMB Control No: 0584-0594. Additionally, there is a decrease of -37 hours for recordkeeping burden hours due to adjustments. The adjustments to the recordkeeping burden estimates were adjusted due to over estimating the recordkeeping time per respondent. The currently approved estimates erred in estimating 25 minutes per form per respondent for recordkeeping, which resulted in a larger number of approved burden hours (46 hours) than was appropriate for this collection. This adjustment reflects a more accurate estimate of 5 minute responses per respondent which decreased from 46 burden hours to 9 hours burden hours for State agencies maintaining records of this information.
