Short Statement: Total respondent burden for the collection of researcher information will be lower than in previous years due to the fact that initial research applications are now gathered through the standard application process (SAP). The forms in this package will collect additional information needed to fulfill agency-specific data security requirements. Since only researchers approved through the SAP will receive the BLS-specific forms, the burden for this package now includes only those individuals rather than all applicants.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $25,000
