As such, it is likely that there will be two surveys completed during the time this form is approved. When we submit this collection to OMB for approval (after the comment period) we will likely calculate the total burden for three years (two surveys) and average the total burden over those three years. 7 This figure is based on the average salary plus benefits for a management analyst (NAICS Occupation Code 13–1111).
