Short Statement: Previously, the Department stated that the total burden was 40 minutes per filer, but the instructions to the pre-2007 Form LM-30 indicate that the burden per filer is only 35 minutes. This correction resulted in the -173 hour adjustment. Based on FY 2009 data, an additional 39 hour reduction results from an estimated 66 fewer responses than what was previously reported. Therefore, the total estimated burden hour reduction is 212 hours.
