respondent approximately 227.0598 minutes to complete their responses.
    6. An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated 
with the collection: The estimated annual public burden associated with 
this collection is 466,775 hours, which is equal to 123,339 (# of 
respondents) * 1 (# of responses per respondents) * 3.78433 hours 
(227.0598 minutes).
