The estimated total annual burden for the Federal Reserve Bank Stock Applications is 589 hours, and would decrease to 80 hours. For the FR 2056, the Board anticipates that there are approximately 50 mergers each year in which the surviving stockholder is a member bank, and it will take a surviving stockholder approximately 30 minutes to complete the paperwork associated with an adjustment to its stock subscription; the remaining burden estimates are unchanged.
