Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There are no program changes. There was an increase in the number of new paper plans for new coal miners trained. Respondents increased (from 2,331 to 2,399) and correspondingly responses (from 108,367 to 143,263) and burden hours also increased (from 15,069 to 17,741). There was an increased use of the electronic systems (10% increase) which lowers response time for former paper plans with an 8 hr. response time to only a 2.25 hr. response time as electronic plans, however, the resulting decrease in response time did not offset the increase in respondents and responses. Costs to respondents have increased (from $269,541 to $465,207) primarily due to an increase in the wage of contract trainers and the increased number of both Coal and Metal/Nonmetal miners to be trained.
