Short Statement: Reporting burden has decreased from 60,052 to 58,835 despite the additional burden associated with the Incentives/Outlets test. This is the result of the completion of the Proof of Concept Test, elimination of the bounding interview, and the full implementation of the new sample. Estimated response burden hours is calculated using actual data collection times over the last two years.
