Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The adjustment of a 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 13,375 total annual hours requested in lieu of 58,186 as the current OMB inventory. This is a decrease of 44,811 hours.
