Short Statement: The Agency requests an increase in the currently approved hours from 33,016 to 58,405 and an increase in the number of respondents from 79,000 to 151,700 over the three-year extension. We based the increase in burden hours and respondents on past use and projections of future needs. The Agency believes that the number of hours and respondents requested will be sufficient to meet the needs of data collection events over the next three years.
