For the Survivor Centric Customer Satisfaction Survey (formerly, Follow-Up Program Effectiveness & Recovery Survey), the previously approved burden hours were 400. The current estimated annual hour burden is 1,545 hours, resulting in an increase of 1,145. The increase in burden hours is due to increasing the number of times the survey will be utilized from quarterly to approximately 6 times per year, due to an increase of 2 minutes interview time per survey, plus the addition of focus groups to obtain feedback from the respondent for future collections. The total net burden of 1,145 hours is an increase for Survivor Centric Customer Satisfaction Survey (formerly, Follow-Up Program Effectiveness & Recovery Survey).
