Short Statement: The total estimated hours to respond decreased 2,415 from 112,401 to 109,986. Responses also decreased from 42,909 to 40,217, a decline of 2,692. This decrease is due to the reduction of forms and realignment of submission which correlates with the total project costs. The total costs are $5,913,947, an increase of $1,899,118 from the current approved burden, which can be accounted through a more accurate fully-loaded wage estimate.
