CISA convenings survey: time and dollar burden

Most respondents (925) will complete a 0.17-hour (about 10-minute) online survey; up to 75 will do a 1.17-hour (about 70-minute) survey plus interview. CISA estimates total burden of 242 hours and total annual respondent burden cost of $21,858.07.
New representatives with <3 months excluded
People who have served as a representative for less than 3 months are excluded from this evaluation, so new representatives cannot be selected to complete the survey or interviews.
