There will be an increase in burden for the individual respondents as a result of including a burden estimate for state program manager and local LEA outreach; however, the overall annual burden hours have decreased. This adjustment, from 20,866 to 16,983 is a decrease of 3,883. The decrease in burden is due to SRS agencies transitioning to NIBRS.
