Short Statement: The Commission is now seeking an extension to this expiring information collection. There is a minor change in burden which we are now reporting in whole dollar amounts rather than in the thousands of dollars which was previously required on the OMB 83i. Therefore, we are adjusting the annual cost by $200. The whole dollar amount for the annual cost is $387,200.
