Short Statement:
This a revision of a currently approved collection. The total number of respondents decreased by 240 from 896 in the previous collection to 656 for this collection. The total burden hours for this collection are 109,200, a decrease of 54,003 from the previous information collection package estimate (which was 163,203 burden hours). Even though decreases occurred with the total number of respondents and total burden hours since the last collection package was approved, there is an increase in the total burden cost. The total burden cost increased by $1,058,073 from $7,131,927 in the previous collection to $8,190,000 for this collection. The increase in burden cost for this collection is due to adjustments to burden items to better represent what occurs with the programs and update to the professional wage rate to use the most current data.
Annual Cost to Federal Government:
$20,769,908
