Short Statement:
This ICR requests adjustments to both the hour burden and the non-hour cost burdens. (a) Hour Burden: We are reporting 17,882 burden hours, which is an increase of 2,127 hours from the previous submission. We made an adjustment increase of 1,531 hours as a result of reestimating the number of annual responses. We are reporting as a program change an increase of 596 hours for two regulatory requirements in Subparts B and D (see table in item 12) that were overlooked and not included in our previous submission. (b) Non-Hour Cost Burdens: The currently approved OMB inventory is $393,345 in non-hour burden costs. This submission requests an adjustment increase of $220,649 for a total of $613,994. The increase is due to a change in the number of respondents and the adjustment in fees for inflation, in accordance with a previously approved fee schedule.
Annual Cost to Federal Government:
$1,051,470
