There is a decrease in the estimated total annual hour burden to respondents for this collection of information. The percentage of Form N-336 requests filed online has increased relative to Form N-336 requests filed on paper. The hour burden per response for online filing is .25 hours less than the hour burden per response for paper filing. Therefore, an increase in the number of Form N-336 requests filed online results in a decrease in the total hour burden for this information collection.
There is an increase in the estimated total cost burden to respondents for this collection of information. USCIS is applying the estimated out of pocket cost of $515 to the full respondent population.
