Short Statement: There are no program changes. The estimated annual hours of burden has slightly decreased from 2,764,837 estimated hours in 2023 to 2,611,826 estimated hours in 2026. This slight decrease is largely attributable to our estimate that there are fewer retailers and manufacturers now subject to warranty requirements. The associated labor burden figure increased from $67,738,531 in 2023 to $74,437,041 in 2026 due to an increase in the hourly rates for clerks and sales associates.
