Short Statement:
The previous inventory represented 7,661 but this was an error and the number should have been 7,689.35 of burden hours. When the burden hours for the exempted conservation program and the associated form NRCS-CPA-38 being removed from the package are subtracted and the submission of the two new forms to this information collection are added, there is a reduction in burden hours of 4,150. Due to a calculation error in last approval 28.35 burden hours are being added back to this collection. The estimation for the forms remaining in the inventory is 3,085.4 burden hours. The programs that are not exempt from the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act and have forms that remain as part of this inventory have significantly fewer respondents and responses than the programs that are exempted. The number of contracts entered into for the programs that are remaining as part of the inventory should remain roughly unchanged from year to year and therefore, the information collection needs should remain somewhat static over the next several years.
Annual Cost to Federal Government:
