Burden Increase Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: Change in burden is the result of a Revision to 0920-0214. The difference is the result of not screening for minority households in the new design. There will no longer be 5 minute doorstep interview(s) on up to 10,000 addresses per year, however there is an addition of burden in 2016 for methodological activities associated with the upcoming questionnaire redesign.
