This information collection request is a new information collection that was approved under emergency procedures on April 29, 2015. However, upon further review, the agency realized the burden associated with surveyors should be accounted for as a cost item instead of as a time burden. Therefore, the burden hours are decreasing by 232 from 348 to 116. The number of respondents is decreasing by 278 from 556 to 278. The number of responses is also decreasing by 278 from 556 to 278. The costs are increasing from $211,884 to $217,523.
