Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: We are reporting a discretionary adjustment of 70 annual responses and 82 annual burden hours associated with the addition of the web-based cognitive interviews (pre-test) as explained in questions 2. We also amended the previously approved IC attachments for the FHWAR survey to remove the references to the previous contractor, but no other substantive changes were made to the documents. Once the new contractor is identified, we will begin working with them to review and update all documents (to include the pre-test documents) to be resubmitted to OMB no later than 2026, ahead of the next FHWAR pre-test and full survey (anticipated to be administered in 2027, or possibly 2028).
