Short Statement: For the Program Effectiveness & Recovery Survey, the previously approved burden hours were 2,400. The current estimated annual hour burden is 2,979 hours, resulting in an increase of 579 hours due to two reasons: 1) The prior collection activity was based on 30 disasters per year, but the current three year average has reduced to 22 disasters in this collection, or an adjustment decrease from 30 to 22 disasters, with a reduction of -429 burden hours; 2) plus inclusion of Focus Groups with +1,008 burden hours. The total net burden increase of 579 is overall an increase for the Program Effectiveness & Recovery Survey.
