The purpose of this collection is to
collect information from private citizens (not Federal employees)
traveling to foreign countries on behalf of the Agency.
Based on historic data and
expected use in the future due to the increased use of contractors
for foreign travel and the reduction of the number of Forest
Service employees the number of respondents increased from 25 to
150, and the increase in the per response time to complete the form
from 15 minutes to 20 minutes due to the anticipated increase in
unfamiliarity of the form by new, first time users. The annual
burden has increased from 6.25 hours to 50 hours.
