Short Statement: We are requesting an increase in hours from 16,667 to 47,771 annually because we incorporated the evaluation needs for the 2020 Census into this request. Due to the timeline of this Generic Clearance and one needed for 2020 Census evaluations, it was most efficient to combine what otherwise could have been two separate requests. We have also added 7,960 burden hours to be available for field tests of economic surveys, as needed, to meet the scope and intent of re-engineering economic annual programs per the recommendations of the National Academy of Sciences panel as well as any potential associated impact on collection of the economic census, as well as other field test collections for reimbursable surveys.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $240,000
