We are requesting an increase of 2141 burden hours for this approval period due to the increase in the number of participating miners, and an increase in the number of applications from newly eligible digital x-ray facilities. This increase also reflects the increase related to the combining of the two OMB submissions (0920-0020 and 0920-0021) into one comprehensive CWHSP packet.
