Short Statement: When we last cleared this collection in 2008, the burden was 35,035 hours. However, we are currently reporting a burden of 35,037 hours. This change partly stems from employers sending SSA special wage payment files electronically using Business Services Online. In addition, we erroneously double counted the burden in 2008 for those respondents who fill out #6. We corrected that error in this information collection request.
