Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The increase in total hours requested, from 100,296 to 109,881, is due to increased efforts to collect information from more establishments that are in NAICS Code 999999. These are unclassified establishments (NCA) for which there is no information currently available about their industrial activities. Online collection has made it easier to pursue data from unclassified establishments and more NCA contacts are attempted than in past years. Thus, the combined number of NVS, NVM, and NCA responses and total burden hours requested have increased.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $57,000,000
