Act
The adjustment for this
submission is due to an increase in the number of claims since the
last approval. Over the last three calendar (CY2014-2016) an
average of 5,770 recurrences were submitted, an increase of 608
claims per year (5,162 was the average figure in the previous ICR
submission in 2014). In applying the 5% rule described in the
discussion in section A.1 above towards the number of claims being
submitted by claimants who have left federal employment, the number
of claims submitted by this group during this period is 289 (5% x
5,770). This figure represents an increase of 31 claims since the
last OMB submission, 258 (5% of 5,162 ) The requested annual cost
burden in dollars is $150 (.52 x 289), which is an increase of
$16.00 from the previous submission of $134 (.52 x 258).
