With this Revision action, there was an increase in the total estimated annual hour burden. This result stems from an increase in hours due to a change in the Agency Estimate and an increase in hours due to Program Changes, including adding a new category of respondent (Applicant) to the estimate to better capture the time and cost incurred by the foreign national, removed questions and related instructions based on 60-day commenter suggestions, and the addition of clarifying language. There were no other Program Changes. With this Revision action, there was an increase in the total estimated annual out-of-pocket cost burden. This result stems from an increase in costs due to a change in the Agency Estimate and no change in costs due to Program Change.
