Burden Reduction Due to:
Short Statement:
The number of respondents reporting on Forms EIA-3, 7A, and 8A decreased from the previous clearance cycle resulting in a burden reduction. The burden hours per response estimate for Form EIA-7A increased from 1 hour to 3.25 hours based on the results of the cognitive research on this survey and the addition of new data elements to the survey form. This resulted in an increase in burden overall for Form EIA-7A. The prior clearance provided no estimate of the burden hours associated with standby Forms EIA-6 and EIA-20. This clearance provides burden hours in the event these forms are activated, thereby resulting in an increase in burden.
