Short Statement:
Compared to the last OMB clearance of the FMLA information collections on February 9, 2012, this request reflects an overall burden increase of 17,892 hours that results from proposed regulatory changes. In addition, this request reflects an increase of 379,050 responses, which also stem from proposed regulatory changes, and a difference of $135,730 in maintenance and operations costs. The changed paperwork burden estimates stem from the expansion of FMLA-leave to employees to care for covered veterans with serious injuries or illnesses; and increased wages rates for persons completing the information collections and other higher costs, as discussed in Item 13 of the supporting statement.
Annual Cost to Federal Government:
