The burden time for each
respondent to complete this data collection has remained the same
(30 minutes) since the last time this collection was approved in
2016. The number of respondents has increased slightly (~ 1,150).
Therefore the total burden hours have slightly increased, and the
associated costs have also increased based on an increase in labor
costs from 2016 to 2020.
