Short Statement: While we have retained our currently approved burden estimates, we have corrected several inadvertent errors. We added more precision to the number of responses per respondent figures in rows 3 and 6; corrected the average burden per response in row 6 (from 0.2 to 0.025 hour (1.5 mins.)); and corrected the total hours calculation in rows 3, 6, and 7. Due to these corrections, we have adjusted our total burden estimate upward by 16 hours (from 8,944 to 8,960) annually.
