Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The agency is requesting an adjustment increase in burden from 986 hours to 1,012 hours, a difference of 26 hours. There are two main reasons for the adjusted figure. First, the agency has updated the data sources used to estimate the number of respondents, burden, and cost (such as the loaded hourly wage rates, turnover rate, and unit cost for laboratory analysis and medical exams). Second, this ICR renewal switches from using rounded decimal estimates of unit burden to unrounded fractions (for instance, from 0.08 to 5/60 for an item with five minutes of burden).
