This Justification for Change
request is to merge the following information collection 0560-0268
into 0560-0237. Because rulemaking was involved, a new collection
was created. Within the rule and supporting statement, it stated
that upon OMB approval the collection will be merged into
0560-0237. As a result of the merger the number of respondent
increased by 5,544, the number of responses increased by 32,240,
and the number of burden hours increased by 16,817. The new total
burden for this collection is 327,162.
