Short Statement: When we last cleared this IC in 2018, the burden was 10,867 hours. However, we are currently reporting a burden of 10,389 hours. This change stems from a decrease in the number of responses from 326,000 to 124,668, as well as an increase in the completion time from 2 to 5 minutes. In FY 2020, SSA enumerated approximately 124,668 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). In addition, after review of our burden estimate, we believe 5 minutes is a better estimate to complete Form SSA-132. These figures represent current Management Information data.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $119,938
