Short Statement: When it last sought approval for this information collection, the agency projected that it would receive Part 566 submissions from approximately 200 manufacturers each year and that it would take each manufacturer 10 minutes to prepare each submission. Estimating the cost for preparing the submission at $20 per hour, the agency projected that the total cost for all affected manufacturers would be $633 per year. Based on the volume of submissions received over the past three years (487 in 2010, 585 in 2011, and 526 in 2012), the agency projects that it will receive 533 submissions in each of the next three years. The agency has revised the estimated time for completing each submission from 10 to 15 minutes and increased the cost for completing the submissions from $20 to $30 per hour to better reflect current business practices and expenses. These adjustments have increased the projected annual cost to industry for preparing the submissions from $630 to $3,990.
