Short Statement:
This request will result in a net decrease of 2,138* hours for all the forms in this clearance package. The changes are due in part to the combining of the EIA-191M and EIA-191 A (resulting in +451 hours-adjustment), a decrease in the number of respondents in the EIA-857 (resulting in 2,940 hours-adjustment), the discontinuation of the EIA-895 (resulting in a -208 hours-adjustment), a decrease in the number of States and respondents reporting on EIA-910 (resulting in a -240 hours-adjustment) and the increase in the number of respondents on EIA-912 (resulting in a + 780 hours-adjustment.) Additionally, annual burden was increased by 19 hours to account for the triennial EIA-757 Schedule B. (*Difference between previously approved annual total burden hours of 52,569 and 50,429 proposed is 2140 but sum of differences total to 2138 due to rounding error.)
