Short Statement:
The information collection is being submitted to renew the collection and correct a mathematical error in the former submission's burden computation. The decimal .433 was used to represent 20 minutes (which is actually 25 minutes), vs .333. The forms instructions have consistently stated 20 minutes and therefor the agency is submitting a correction based on a mathematical error. This decreases the overall hourly burden estimate by 1,550 (6,500 to 4,950).
