FHFA expects participation from market participants in the housing finance industry and other industries, including technology companies, mortgage companies, academics, industry groups, and other members of the public. B. Burden Estimate FHFA estimates that two Tech Sprints will be conducted each year over the next three years. The total annualized hour burden imposed upon respondents by this information collection will be 8,200 hours, based on the following calculations: 1. Tech Sprint Applications FHFA estimates that the average number of individuals applying to participate in each Tech Sprint over the next three years will be 200, with one response per applicant. The estimated time to complete each application is half an hour. Therefore, the estimate for the total annual hour burden for all applications is 200 hours (200 applications × .5 hours per application × 2 Tech Sprints per year = 200 hours). 2. Tech Sprint Participation FHFA estimates that each Tech Sprint will have an average of 80 participants. Each participant will spend an average of 50 hours participating in the Tech Sprint. Therefore, the estimate for the total annual hour burden for all Tech Sprint participants is 8,000 hours (80 participants × 50 hours per participant × 2 Tech Sprints per year = 8,000 hours). C.
