Burden Reduction Due to:
Short Statement:
The total respondent burden increased by 322 hours from 5,133 hours to 5,455 hours since the 2018 submission. The increase in burden is due to an increase in survey respondents and number of Schedule 1 and Schedule 2 responses expected since the 2018 clearance. The increase in potential respondents is due to an increase in the number of utilities in the U.S. The increase in the number of Schedule 1 and Schedule 2 response to 250 per year is based on an average of actual responses in 2017, 2018, and 2019 (average of 216) plus an estimate of additional response, based on the new criteria being added to the form.
