Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: Following a major review of the sampling design, our 2019 submission reported a burden decrease of 6,795 responses and 567 burden hours (reduced sampling effort, i.e., total households surveyed, and reduction from three household visits to a single household visit for harvest data collection). In 2019, we completed a third round of optimal allocation analyses to fine-tune the amount and distribution of the sampling effort to adjust survey costs to available funding while maintaining a statistically robust sampling design (Otis and Naves 2019). As the cost of adding communities is much higher than the cost of adding households, an adjustment was made to survey a smaller number of communities but a larger total number of households. In addition, we split the Cordova mail survey (Form 3-2381-5) out into a separate IC as we realized it was previously reported with the remaining harvest surveys as an average response of 3 submissions per year. The Cordova mail survey is only completed once per year necessitating it be a separate IC in ROCIS. Due to these updates, we are reporting a burden increase of 1,493 responses and 125 burden hours (change due to adjustment in agency estimate) associated with the updated sampling design. We are also reporting a burden increase of 400 responses and 33 burden hours (change due to agency discretion) associated with the new Kodiak Roaded Area Experimental Season (Forms 3-2381-6 and 3-2381-7).
