The total number of respondents would remain at 965. These respondents, who may need to file an amended return, will now be able to use TTB F 5300.26. We have increased the number of responses per respondent to reflect this possibility. The increase of 6,755 hours is attributed to program change for a total of 33,775 hours requested.
