Short Statement: This is a revised information collection. The Commission is reporting adjustments to the total number of respondents and total annual responses of +76 (from 6,161 to 6,237) and total annual burden hours of +21 (from 1,540 to 1,561) which are due to the Commission re-evaluating the previous figures used in this collection to better reflect experience in administrating the collection. The Commission is also reporting a program change due to modifications to the survey forms, including an increase in the number of questions on each form. However, the Commission concludes that this increase in questions will not materially increase the response time per form.
