Although there is a decrease in annual burden hours there is an increase in annual burden dollars due to a change in calculation method.* There have been no statutory or regulatory changes affecting this information collection. The table below summarizes the changes since the last renewal of this information collection.In prior information collection requests, the estimated annual burden dollars was implied to be a usual and customary business expense not directly associated with this information collection.
