Burden Reduction Due to: Cutting Redundancy

Short Statement: The Department is assuming that a significant change in public burden estimates have occurred since the last approved ICR (Sept 2014). For the CVI Authorization instrument the Department assumes that the majority of individuals who will complete this instrument are SSOs, although a smaller number of other individuals may also complete this instrument (e.g., state officials or Federal employees). For the purpose of this notice, the Department maintains this assumption. The Department is also incorporating reduction of the annual reporting and recordkeeping hour and cost burden for SSOs to $67.72/hour. This amount is consistent with the SSO total annual burden costs established in programmatically related Departmental ICRs. For the CVI Authorization instrument the Department has revised the estimated number of respondents from 30,000 to 20,000 to reflect the Department’s revised estimate on expected annual usage of this instrument. In addition, a reduction of user response times for the CVI Authorization instrument was observed to decrease from 1 hour to 0.50 hour. The average user response time between CY 2014 – 2016 was observed to be 0.50 hour. In addition, the estimated total burden is estimated to decrease by -385,100 responses, -53,775 burden hours, and $4,807,450 based on the proposed elimination of five instruments previously approved for the collection CVI-related information and the reduction of the response time for CVI Authorization. Taking into consideration all of these changes, the total annual estimate for reporting, recordkeeping, and cost burden under this collection is expected to decrease from $5,484,650 to $677,200; from 405,100 responses to 20,000 responses; and 63,775 hours to 10,000 hours.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $490,775
