Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: Since the last submission, there is an increase of 2,299 responses and 531 burden hours attributed to estimate adjustments and the addition of a new activity, “NVSL Laboratories Kit and Instrument Order Form. The estimated time per response for “NVSL Customer Contact Update (VS Form 4-10)” was increased from 0.1 hours to 1.0 hours. However, the program has received few responses in the last 3 years and the estimates have been reduced to placeholder values of 1 respondent, 1 response, 1 hour for each respondent type. This change resulted in a decrease of 55 responses and 4 hours of burden. This request for renewal includes a new activity, NVSL Laboratories Kit and Instrument Order Form (VS Form 4-12)”, which has been inadvertently omitted from previous submissions. It adds 264 responses and 9 hours of burden to the information collection request.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $341,727
