This is a previously approved collection which approval has expired. In the 60 day notice, it was an estimate of 12,000 burden hours but after revaluating, the burden is now 14,000. The burden hours have increased since the last submission to OMB due to a more accurate estimate of response time. It was determined that it would take respondents an hour instead of 30 minutes to complete the form.
