Burden Increase Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There is a program change in only Form BQ-1; the changes in the burden hours for all other B forms are due to decreases in the number of respondents. For Form BQ-1 there will be an overall decrease of 238 in burden hours to 1,254 as compared to the estimate of 1,492 currently carried in OMB's Information Collection Inventory. There is a slight increase of 26 hours resulting from the addition of one cell to the form BQ-1. That increase is more than offset by a decrease of 264 hours resulting from a decrease in the number of respondents from the 2016 level of 100 to the current level of 80. The burden for the BC, BL-1, BL-2, BQ-2 and BQ-3 forms (110,453 hours) was previously accounted for under separate OMB Control Numbers, which are now being consolidated under 1505-0016. Following approval of this consolidated Information Collection Request, OMB Control Numbers 1505-0017, 1505-0018, 1505-0019, 1505-0020 and 1505-0189 will be discontinued.
