Short Statement: When we last cleared this IC in 2023, the burden was 4,501,999 hours. However, we are currently reporting a burden of 6,600,281 hours. This change stems from the removal of several forms, the addition of other forms, the revisions to forms, and addition of further CE information collections. In addition, we have also updated our Disability Case Processing System, all of which affected the total burden for this information collection. These figures represent current Management Information data. * Note: The total burden reflected in ROCIS is 6,647,771, while the burden cited in #12 of the Supporting Statement is 6,426,634. This discrepancy is because the ROCIS burden also reflects learning costs. In contrast, the chart in #12 of the Supporting Statement reflects actual burden.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $509,672,868
