OMB notes that the agency improperly completed the 83-I by including labor costs for question 14 rather than nonlabor costs as is clearly required by the Instructions for Completing OMB Form 83-I. In addition, the agency's response to question 15 of the supporting statement did not adequately explain the difference between this ICR and its predecessor, particularly given that the number of respondents reported on the 83-I decreased rather than increased.
