Short Statement:
RBCS estimates that the annual labor hour burden over the next three years will be slightly higher than that which was estimated in the ICR approval request for the past three years. In the 2017 ICR approval request, the estimated number of respondents per year was 150. This represents an increase of 50 respondents per year over the next three years. The estimated number of responses per year in the 2017 request was 450. In this current request, the estimated number of responses per year is 600. This is an increase of 150 responses per year. In the 2017 request, the estimated annual labor hour burden was 1,350 hours. In this current request, the estimated annual labor hour burden is 1,800. This is an increase of 450 burden hours per year compared to the previous submission.
