The agency is
directed to read the instructions for completing the Form 83-I,
particularly the instructions for number 14, which say 'the costs
identified in this item MUST EXCLUDE the cost of hour burden
identified in Item 13.' Thus, the costs listed of $111,134 are the
20% overhead identified on a total cost of $666,802, costs which
include the monetized cost of the hours spent on this collection.
The agency should also review the instructions for completing the
supporting statement, particularly question 15.
