Short Statement:
The previous ICR submission (1910-5126) only accounted for 1 form, the Quarterly Performance Report and omitted the Annual File and Master File totaling 8,064 respondent burden hours. Historically, the Annual File and Master File were never included in previous ICRs. While calculating the burden hours SEP was informed that these two forms should be included in the ICR. The increase is also due to the implementation of 2 new funding sources under IIJA.
