Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: The total reduction with this revision is 4,873 burden hours. Usability testing of FEMA Form FF-104-FY-21-121 (formerly 010-0-8a), MATO Form accounts for the first 1,067 hours reduced due to the reduction of the average burden per response by ten minutes (0.1667 hours) (6,400 total responses x 0.1667 hours = 1,067 burden hours). The rest of the reduction is based on data analysis of the average number of respondents and responses for the past ten years for each collection instrument, which led to a large reduction in the total number of responses, and is offset by an increase in training offerings. The increase in costs stems from the general increase in wages.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $77,090
