The current annual burden is estimated to be 3,558 hours. Due to proposed revisions, the Board estimates no change in the estimated hours per response for the FR 28 and an additional 10 minutes per response for the FR 28i. This change results in an increase of 50 hours, for a proposed annual burden estimate of 3,608 hours.
