Short Statement:
Since this is a request to reinstate a discontinued OMB control number, the current OMB inventory is 0 and, therefore, all the estimated burden associated with this generic information collection plan is considered a program change. However, when last approved by OMB, the number of inventoried respondents and responses was 42,600 and inventoried hours were 38,400. This reinstatement request is seeking a reduction of 6,480 respondents/responses and a reduction of 13,995 hours as compared to the previous OMB approval. Based on research the Bureau has conducted over the last several years, and its plans for upcoming research studies, the Bureau has better estimates of what projects it will pursue in the next three years. The decrease in burden is not due to any new statutory or regulatory requirements.
