This clearance request is approved to September 1985. However, the estimate of burden hours is based on the assumption that 50% of the drivers will use the current log, and 50% will use the modified trip report with grid. In addition, estimates of the time required in both cases are made. At the end of one year, BMCS should study these estimates to check their accuracy. At the end of this period, the agency should have enough experience with the manner in which the industry is complying with the new rule, and should be able to refine the estimates made for this clearance request. A correction change should be made to the estimate noted above, based on the results of this study.
