The increase of 3,553 annual burden hours (program change) for Form EIA-878 is due to the addition of the question to collect the annual motor gasoline sales volume which will provide a better sampling methodology with an increase in sample size. In addition, the sample for Form EIA-878 is increasing from 800 respondents to 1,000 respondents. The reduction of 8,545 hours in total annual burden hours from 2014 is primarily due to the revised burden estimate of Form EIA-782A from 15 hours to 5 hours (adjustment) which was discovered during cognitive testing.
