The new average annual burden is expected to be 91,208 hours. The increase of 36,472 hours from the current burden of 54,736 hours is due to program changes that increased the budget to restore several surveys that had been curtailed, along with the addition of a new microbial food survey that will be conducted with food packers, along with the addition of 50 cognitive interviews that can be conducted each year for testing purposes.
