This is a downward adjustment
in burden. It is due not to a program change but to a decrease in
the number of respondents from 102,833 to 87,943, resulting in a
decrease in hour burden from 8,569 to 7,329. The amount of time to
complete the form, despite changes to some questions, remains the
same: five minutes.
