Short Statement:
The existing number of respondents for the Form 6 has decreased by 5 (from 166 to 161) based on the most recent year filings. This leads to a decrease in the burden of 813 hours and 10 responses. The program change (0.5 added hours per filing), triggered by the Final Rule in Docket RM12-18, is due to the additional time necessary to report the additional data on page 700 (for those filers required to file Page 700). The increase is minimal because the respondents should already have the required data on hand, as part of the calculations they have had to make.
