Short Statement:
There is an overall decrease in the respondent and Agency burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens due to a decrease in the respondent universe since the previous ICR. Based on the 2013 Agency analysis, 21 HMIWI units (16 privately owned, 1 federally owned, and 4 state owned) have been shut down over the past several years. The revised estimate results in a decreased in respondent labor hours, number of responses, and capital/O&M costs. However, there is a slight adjustment increase in respondent hours for States due to a change in assumption. In this ICR, we assume all respondents will take some time to re-familiarize themselves with the regulatory requirements.
