Miscellaneous Actions
Short Statement:
The decrease in respondent burden is the result of revised estimates since the 2014 submittal. The previous submission had an annual collection number of about 2.4 million respondents whereas we now estimate around 1.4 million respondents. This is due to a decrease of military collections and operations generally since 2014. Additionally, estimated wage was adjusted to the Federal Minimum Wage. Previous submissions mistakenly used the collecting individual’s wage estimate to calculate respondent burden.
