associated with this collection is estimated to be 626,749 hours.
The annual hourly burden in the 2011 PRA submission for this
collection was 617,876 hours. The increase in the burden hours from
the previous PRA submission is due to an adjustment in the agency's
estimate of the number of standardized pharmacy notices that are
likely to be distributed based on CY 2013 prescription drug event
data.
