Short Statement:
With this renewal, we are documenting an annual increase of 856 hours to complete the application process to obtain an Archeological Permit and fill out associated reports. This increase is in response to feedback collected from our public outreach, indicating the estimated time to engage with the information was disproportionally low. Associated with the increase in burden hours, the annualized cost to respondents increased by $44,251.
