Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There are a number of changes in the burden with respect to respondent type, number of respondents, wage calculation, and postage calculation. The previous burden only focused on the public burden, while this renewal provides burden estimates for both the public and the State. The public burden estimate reflects changes with regards to the number of respondents, wage calculation, and postage calculation. The number of respondents has been reduced from 5,000 to 700. The wage has been added, and the cost of postage has increased. The previous cost burden to the public was $2,450 which only took into account the cost of postage to mail the form; with these revisions, the cost burden to the public is $9,880.50 which takes into account a reduced number of respondents, the respondent’s cost to fill out the form, and the postage to mail the form. The Coast Guard has added an estimated burden on the State to collect information on boating accidents. The burden for the State had not been previously reported; it is $280,123.20.
