Short Statement: The total burden for this information collection has decreased by 3,270 hours from the last submission. The decrease in burden is due solely to adjustments. In particular, FRA revised the four estimates which account for this decrease. The burden cost decreased by $2,000. There was actually a change in the previous submission for the cost in Subsequent Years, but it was not accounted for in the last submission. Consequently, it is accounted for here.
