Short Statement:
The collection, after completion of the mergers described above, showed an estimated total of 5,611 hours and $716,000. In preparing this renewal request, burden and cost increases associated with adjustments (mainly increase of fleet size) since approval of the several Framework Adjustments, and the decrease in burden and cost for the original requirements under OMB Control No.: 0648-0491 were included. Only these changes accounted for since the last approved merger (of OMB Control No.: 0648-0416 into this collection) are shown on the 83-I and are counted as adjustments: a net increase in burden of 2,338 hours and $413,000. NOTE: program change due to agency discretion - these figures result from removing the "lumped" IC moved into ROCIS by OMB, and replacing it with several ICs.
