The current OMB inventory for
this collection includes 84,391 burden hours. In this submission,
we are requesting a total of 99,866 hours. This represents an
adjustment increase of 15,475 hours. The adjustment increase is due
to re-estimating the average number of annual responses and the
amount of time required to respond based on outreach from
respondents listed in A.8. Moreover, §§ 250.109, 130-133 (form
1832), 130-133, 132(b), 133, 142, 172, 180 contain the estimated
increase in burden hours. The current OMB non-hour cost burden
inventory is $1,371,458. In this submission, we are requesting a
total of $222,915. This represents an adjustment decrease of
$1,148,543. The average number of annual responses BSEE received
for §§ 250.168; 171; 172; 174; 175; 177; 180(b), (d) decreased from
646 to 105, reducing the estimated non-hour costs.
