Short Statement: The decrease in burden hours is due to less manual labor, improved technology and networking to store, retrieve, compile and generate information necessary to complete the report. Additionally, there was a decrease in the number of companies that issued motor vehicle insurance policies written within a State and several rental and leasing companies that have merged into one entity or have been exempted from the reporting requirements since the last reporting period. The agency has re-estimated the burden hours to be 63,238 total annual hours requested in lieu of 64,610 as the current OMB inventory. This is a decrease of 1,372 hours.
