Short Statement:
The reduction in burden hours from 240 in 2014 to 160 currently is based on having previously completed the majority of the review for each study. The 2014 supporting statement for this collection addressed only the four actively funded projects at that time. It did not include the six projects (bridges) that had orders to be altered but had no Federal Fund available to them. Currently, two of the four funded projects were completed and the six bridges still remain unfunded. While the Coast Guard waits for funding to move forward on alterations for the six bridges and additional funding to continue with the two remaining partially funded bridges, there are, periodically, questions that arise regarding the status of the bridges. In order to respond to these questions accurately, the Coast Guard must reach out to the bridge owner to obtain the most current information regarding the status and condition of the bridges. If the Coast Guard is instructed to conduct additional studies, outside of the current eight, the burden hours will increase back to 240. There is also an increase in the annual rates for employee costs to reflect inflation rates. Additionally U.S. Coast Guard Bridge Office no longer employees an Administrative Assistant so duties previously assigned to that position are now handled by the engineer.
