Short Statement: The paper version of the Application Form is still available as an option, but fewer respondents are expected to use the form (3 hours per response). A more efficient electronic version of the Application Form is available at decreased burden per response (2.5 hours per response). Overall ICR burden will increase due to anticipated increases in the number of Application forms, Repeat Request forms, and Transmittal forms, and inclusion of the Fee Worksheet and the Early Release Fee Worksheet.
