Short Statement:
FEMA used the 2015 estimate of burden hours per jurisdiction as a baseline (784 hours) and updated this number based on jurisdictional estimates of the change in level of effort between the current and prior year’s assessment (increase of 10.83 percent). Accordingly, this yields a total hourly burden of 869 hours for each of the 56 states and territories that complete THIRA/SPR, along with the 33 urban areas that are now required to complete a THIRA/SPR, for a total of 77,341 hours. The respondent burden for tribes completing the THIRA/SPR is 290 hours for each of the 24 tribal jurisdictions, for a total burden of 6,960 hours. Additionally, all 113 respondents are asked to participate in after action calls lasting one hour for a total of 113 hours. Combined, the total respondent hours for THIRA/SPR, THIRA only, and participation in after action calls are 84,414 hours. This is an increase of 13,051 over the previous 71,363 hours currently on the OMB inventory. This increase accounts for urban areas now completing the entire THIRA/SPR (not only THIRA), an increase in the burden hours required for a single jurisdiction to complete the THIRA/SPR assessment, a decrease in reporting burden for tribes, and a decrease in the overall number of jurisdictions completing the THIRA/SPR.
