Short Statement:
There was a decrease of 4,612 annual burden hours from the previous collection of 64,773 to the current collection of 60,161 annual burden hours. The decrease is due to a calculation correction by removing the burden hours of three (3) common forms (i.e. SF-lll, SF-424 and SF 270 which are approved under other OMB Control Numbers. The decrease in annual burden hours directly impacted the total annual responses for the current package. There was a decrease of 6,320 from 20,517 of total annual responses in the previous collection to 14,197 in this collection package.
