31. If the total annual burden is an increase or decrease in the previously claimed burden, 18 please
explain why in 4000 characters or less.
The total number of respondents has increased.

Note that the OMB system does not allow time periods smaller than one year. If your form is filled out only once
per project or investor, then type “1” here and explain under item 12 in the Supporting Statement.

Please use $75.00/hour to determine the public cost. This will ensure consistency in our calculations for OMB.
Therefore if it takes the average respondent 2 hours to fill out the form, you would write $150.00 on line A.
($75.00 x 2)
15
This refers to the time actually spent completing the form.
16
This refers to time spent maintaining records that they would not otherwise maintain except that the records
are needed to complete your information collection. For example, if you require them to maintain special financial
statements in order to complete your information collection, but they would not otherwise create and maintain
these special statements. This is usually zero.
17
This refers to time spent creating and publishing new disclosures that they would not otherwise publish except
that your form requires them to. For example, if your form requires them to publish their yearly accident rates.
This is usually zero.
18
The previously claimed burden is what OMB previously approved for your form. You can obtain these numbers
from the previous OMB submissions or from http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain (Select ”United States
International Development Finance Corporation“ under the “Current Inventory” menu.) If your form is new, then
this is zero and your increase is due to this being a new information collection.
