Short Statement: We are reporting changes in agency estimates of -36,258 annual responses and -1,910 annual time burden as detailed in Table 15.1 in the SSA. The estimated completion times per respondent for the 2022 Survey were revised from the previous approval. Two main factors contributed to this change: the insights gained from the 105,698 responses to the 2022 Survey effort and the assessment of the time required to answer newly added questions in the 2027 questionnaire. Prior estimates of completion times were based on limited testing of the 2022 questionnaire. After the full 2022 Survey was conducted, the responses provided valuable information. This data enabled a more accurate refinement of the estimated completion times, ensuring they reflect the actual experience of respondents and the demands of the updated questionnaire.
