Short Statement: Two forms, the LS-206 and LS-208 are being combined to streamline the collection. The information will now be collected on the LS-208. Once approved, the LS-206 will be discontinued. There is an initial increase in burden hours of 2,100 hours until the LS-206 is discontinued. The combination of the two forms will decrease the average burden by 5 minutes (from 15 minutes to 10 minutes) and therefore decrease the overall burden hours.
