Short Statement: When we last cleared this IC in 2021, the burden was 10,389 hours. However, we are currently reporting a burden of 30,159 hours. This change stems from an increase in the number of responses from 124,668 to 361,902. In FY 2023, SSA enumerated approximately 361,902 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). SSA did not change the burden per response. * Note: The total burden reflected in ROCIS is 367,934, while the burden cited in #12 of the Supporting Statement is 30,159. This discrepancy is because the ROCIS burden reflects the following components: field office waiting time + a rough estimate of a 30-minute, one-way, drive burden + learning costs. In contrast, the chart in #12 of the Supporting Statement reflects actual burden.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $969,848
