Short Statement: For the DD Forms 2956 & 2957, previous burden estimates were one response at 15 minutes per respondent per year. The number of Commemorative Partners (respondents) has increased from the previous estimate as has the number of responses per year. Previous estimates were prepared before program launch, while current estimates are projections based on actual responses after program launch. Additionally, original estimates did not attach an estimated labor cost to respondents’ time, nor did they capture the total program costs associated with the forms for the Federal Government, such as postage, maintenance of a website and database for managing responses, etc.
