The total burden for ATF F 5630.7 is 88 hours. Therefore the estimated total public burden associated with this information collection is 2,088 hours which is equal to (6000 (# of respondents for ATF F 5630.5R and ATF F 5630.5RC) * .3333 (20 mins) + 350 (# of respondents for ATF F 5630.7) * .25 (15 mins).
