We are making this submission to renew the OMB approval. There is a minor adjustment in the paperwork burden previously approved by OMB. This is to reduce the time per response (from 3.12 hours to 1.12 hours) to more accurately reflect the recordkeeping and reporting time for this one-page form. The reduction in burden time decrease the total burden hours by 30,500 hours (from 46,800 hours to 16,750 hours).
