Short Statement: The previously approved number of respondents has increased from 7,549 to 16,420. However, the average number of forms submitted per respondent decreased as well as the average time per response as a result of more filers filing electronically. As a result, the burden hours requested decreased by 8,264. Costs to respondents remain the same as in the last iteration but were recorded incorrectly as 0 which is why a difference is shown of $1,359,162.
