The current OMB inventory for this collection includes 37,084 burden hours. In this submission, we are requesting a total of 44,458 burden hours. This is a net increase of 7,374 hours which resulted from re-estimating the average number of annual responses and the amount of revised time required to respond based on the input from the company representatives identified in A.8 of the supporting statement. The current OMB non-hour cost burden inventory is $39,589. In this submission, we are requesting a total of $68,381. This represents an adjustment increase of $28,792 due to receiving more DWOPs from the last OMB submission.
