We are estimating 1,000 annual responses and 8,000 burden hours for this collection, which is an adjustment increase of 400 responses and 3,200 burden hours. We increased the number of responses based on our experience in administering this collection.
We are reporting as a program change, $11,100 for printing and notarization costs as explained in item 13 of the supporting statement. Printing costs were not applicable in previous submissions because the form was provided as a hard copy. However, the requirement to have the form notarized has always been required, but we have not previously included this cost.
