Short Statement: Actual respondents are the DSOs, who make input to SEVIS to fulfill their responsibilities in the management of student data and in the management of SEVP certification of their schools (approximately 30,000 DSOs). The previous calculation of hours was estimated before implementation of SEVIS and the operation of SEVP. Actual experience indicates a much lower burden of hours than previously estimated. The original estimate was nearly one million hours annually. The current estimate is at 202,767 for management of student data and 69,400 for management of SEVP certification (including an additional 60,000 for training/research/reports). The total annual burden is 272,170 hours, an average of slightly more than 9 hours annually per DSO.
