Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Cutting Redundancy

Short Statement: The data collection has been refined to more accurately reflect the estimated burden. The estimated hours per response increased to .5 based on data provided from subject matter experts. This is an increase from .167 estimated hours per response published in the first notice. The wage rate has increased from the last renewal. The wage rate is changed from GS-11/5 to GS-12/5 because it is more probable that this function would be completed by a GS-12/5 employee. Due to the increase in the estimated hours per response, the estimated total burden hours increased from 13.36 to 40. Therefore the total annual cost to respondents is increased from $734.80 to $2,200.
