OIRA Conclusion Action: Approved without change	Conclusion Date: 01/09/1998
	Date Received in OIRA: 11/13/1997
Terms of Clearance: Approved through January 31, 1999. OMB review of BTS forms QFR, M-1 and M-2 (2139-0002. 4 and 5) suggests the need for rulemaking to reduce the current information collection burden and to streamline and simplify the collection of information to the maximum extent possible. A summary of the OMB review is attached. During the one year the clearance is in effect, DOT should proceed expeditiously with its contemplated rulemaking. DOT's goal should be to complete the rulemaking within a year, so that revisions could be in place for reports due in 1999. Based on public comment, OMB also suggests specific consideration of options (a.) with respect to the availability of data and (b.) the content of what carriers should be required to report. The OMB suggestions are set forth in the attached.
