• Revised burden estimates, when compared with the current information collection approved in July of 2019:

• The annual burden hour estimate for this Information Collection would result in an increase by 18,824 hours, from 14,789 hours to 33,613 hours. The majority of burden hours are a result of an increase in the burden per response of the SSP from 2.72 hours to 7.84 hours. This increase is based on observed user behavior within the Chemical Security Assessment Tool (CSAT) between CY19 and CY21.

• The annual burden cost increased by $1,860,473, from $1,178,590 to $3,039,063. The increase is due to: (a) increased burden hours, and (b) an increase in the wage rate from $79.69 to $90.41.
