Printing cost - estimated number of forms printed annually, multiplied by the unit cost of the forms.
Case processing cost - estimated number of forms completed, multiplied by a percentage of the unit cost of case processing.
Forms management cost - salary cost of forms management personnel.
Printing Cost 5,000 @ $.02 = $ 100.
Case processing cost 5,000 @ 1.50/form = $7,500.
Forms Management Cost = 500.

17. If seeking approval to not display the expiration date for OMB approval of this information collection, what are the reasons that the display would be inappropriate?
The public interest will be better served by not displaying an expiration date on Form PD F 1832. The time period during which the current edition of the form will continue to be usable cannot be predicted. It could easily span several cycles of review and OMB clearance renewal. Displaying the expiration date would make it necessary to update the electronic form and website where it is accessed after each renewal. Additionally, not displaying the expiration date on the form will avoid confusion among members of the public who may have identical forms with different expiration dates in their possession. By not displaying the expiration date, supplies of the form could continue to be used regardless of when the OMB approval has expired. This would reduce costs incurred through additional printing and desktop publishing.
18. What are the exceptions to the certification statement?
There are no exceptions to the certification statement.
B. This collection does not employ statistical methods.
