Short Statement: The current OMB inventory is 393 burden hours and 304 total annual responses. This change request estimates 346 burden hours and 259 total annual responses a difference of -47 burden hours and -45 total annual responses. As shown in the tables below, these changes would decrease the total burden estimate from 393 hours to 346.2 hours. Although the overall burden hours will decrease, more activity will occur in each of the 3 participating States. There will be a decrease the total burden on local offices from 146.6 hours to 110.5 hours, but it will increase the burden on local offices in the 3 study States from 24.4 hours per State to 36.8 hours per State. Additionally, rather than visit 3 E&T providers in 6 States, we intend to visit 5 providers in the 3 study States. Overall, this will decrease the total burden hours for E&T providers from 121.5 to 110.8 hours, but it will increase the burden on E&T providers per State from 20.3 to 36.9 hours.
