Short Statement: The burden increase is due to the fact that the ICR is a reinstatement. The ICR was discontinued after the three year approval period ended. Since this ICR is done only once every 4 years, it needed to be "reinstated." The overall total change in hours is the total annual burden hours proposed. Therefore, an increase due to agency discretion (program change) is 3,978 hours.
