The new burden hour total of
4,954 is 989 hours above the previous burden of 3,965 hours. Part
of the increase is due to the normal adjustment for the data
rotation cycle. The Cold Storage Capacity survey is conducted every
other year (odd numbered years). In this renewal cycle the survey
will be conducted twice, where in the previous approval it was only
conducted once. There was an error in the previous table NASS used
to calculate total burden. On the Capacity survey the burden
minutes were listed at 30 and on the mandatory monthly Cold Storage
minutes were listed at 15; these were backwards and have been
adjusted this time.
