Schedule 14D-1F takes approximately 2 hours per response to prepare and is filed by approximately 18 respondents annually for a total reporting burden of 36 hours.

An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid control number.
