Short Statement: The current OMB burden estimate is 115,111 hours. When the QFR was submitted in 2015, the burden estimate was 101,258 hours due to ceasing the collection of additional service sector corporations. However, due to an error, the burden estimate was not actually reduced to 101,258 hours when QFR was approved. Therefore, a downward adjustment of 13,853 is necessary to bring the burden to a base of 101,258 hours. From that base, we are now adjusting the burden upward by 6,204 hours to bring the new burden to 107,462 hours annually. The upward adjustment is due to an increase in the number of active corporations (a universe change).

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $5,000,000
