Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The estimated burden has increased due to a rise in estimated respondents and annual cost inflation. The number of estimated respondents has been calibrated based on NTS data from Operation Allies Refuge in August 2021 and adjusted to account for untracked evacuees. Additionally, increased integration with Combatant Commands suggests a larger percentage of sites will utilize NTS in future evacuations.
