(a) The current approved OMB inventory for this collection includes 116,341 burden hours. In this submission, we are requesting a total of 261,313 burden hours; which represents an adjustment increase of 144,972 hours. This increase is due to respondents (listed in A.8) informing us that it takes more time to perform the requirements for the specific operation/function/requirement. (b) The current approved OMB non-hour cost burden inventory is $331,079. In this submission, we are requesting a total of $392,874; which represents a program change increase of $61,795. This increase is due to the non-hour cost burdens associated with this collection (listed in § 250.125) being increased through rulemaking dated and effective October 1, 2013, (78 FR 60208).
