Short Statement: The increase in the hour burden from 9 hours to 29 hours is due to a change in agency estimates, reflecting that, on average, more respondents have filed Form TA-Ws than previously estimated. The decrease in the cost burden from $340 to $0 is due to the fact that, from 2017-2020, we estimate that all filings were done by internal staff and that no outside filing agents were used.
