Short Statement: The estimated burden hours for the collection of this data varies from the previous submission. The number of projects in the matrix is based on number of project-owners that are required to submit financial statements to the Department. Previous estimates of burden hours assumed one hour for each respondent. However, each respondent is required to complete the complete package of entry forms contained in the financial reporting software. The forms require approximately thirteen hours of preparation and one hour to post the work product into the electronic data system. Previous submissions had not accounted for the preparation time, and only reported the hour required for posting and verification.
