395 respondents will utilize the form, and it will take each respondent 
approximately 30 minutes to complete the form.

with the collection: The estimated annual public burden associated with 
this collection is 790 hours which is equal to 395 (# of respondents) * 
4 (# of responses per respondent) * .5 (30 minutes).
    (7) An Explanation of the Change in Estimates: The changes in 
burden are due to decrease in the number of respondents and responses 
by 927 and 3,708 respectively. There was also a reduction in the burden 
hours for this IC by 1,854, from the previous renewal of this IC in 
2015.
