Short Statement:
The amendments will result in an estimated additional 52,883 hours burden hours, annualized, and $1,535,000 in capital/non-labor costs. Estimated labor costs, as detailed in the Supplemental Supporting Statement incorporated in this ICR, cumulative of all affected entities, is $2,191,368.

The Commission is inviting further public comment on some of those proposals, as further revised via the proposed amendment rulemaking that will be submitted to OMB immediately after the instant ICR.
