Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: Including respondents and non-respondents, currently there are 14,939 respondents and we estimate there will be a decrease of 2,930 respondents for a total of 12,009 respondents. Due to an oversight, the current total responses should have been 76,637 and we are now requesting 70,424 total responses, a decrease of 6,213 total responses; however the total responses in ROCIS is 65,457 and we are requesting 70,424 which is an increase of 4,967. The current burden in ROCIS should have been 5,625 hours but due to oversight the burden wasn’t increased in the system. Based on the revisions, we estimate the revised burden is 4,977 hours an overall decrease of 648 burden hours; furthermore, ROCIS reflects an increase of 476 burden hours.
