The estimate is in the last paragraph of the instructions.

Whenever the government makes an estimate of the time required to do anything, it provides an interesting bit of information, and it could be used as a standard, but I just take the estimates with many grains of salt.

That it would take a banker 19 minutes to complete a routine CTR just doesn't seem reasonable to me, even given the suggestion that it be signed by someone other than the individual filling it in.
