Short Statement: The burden increase of 8,049 hours is due to the NCS transition to a 3 year collection cycle. Under this cycle design for NCS, most private industry establishments only will be in the sample for 3 years compared to previously being in the survey 5 years. The first year of the private industry cycle also has greater initiation burden hours as the aircraft manufacturing and large firms with a sample weight of 1 enter the survey during that year.
