The previous ICs were separated only due to the frequency of reporting (monthly, quarterly, and annually); the collection instrument was the same for all. This revision combines the three ICs into one, reporting an aggregate number and the breakout due to frequency is identified in the supporting statement. The increase of 5,505 responses and 6,056 hours is due to an adjustment in the number of respondents to reflect the current number reporting.
