Short Statement: We estimate that Form TH is filed an average of 0 times per year. This is based on the number of times Form TH has been filed in the last three years divided by three (0 filings in 2021, 0 filings in 2022, and 0 filings in 2023, divided by three years equals an average of 0 filings per year). For administrative convenience, we are estimating an annual burden of 1 hour (as the nearest whole number above zero) to reflect the possibility that one or more filers may submit a Form TH.
