Short Statement: The increase in the public reporting burden from 8,300 hours to 10,867 hours reflects the updated management information data we have for FY 2017. In FY 2017, SSA enumerated approximately 326,000 foreign students and exchange visitors. Absent any mechanism that measures the number of individuals who utilize form SSA-132, we use this figure as the number of respondents for the reporting burden (assuming that every foreign student and exchange visitor needs to complete Form SSA-132, otherwise they would not have their newly requested SSN fast enough). We estimated the updated burden hours using this new respondent figure. This is consistent with how we calculated and reported the number of respondents previously.
