Name of Law: Federal Railroad Safety Authorization Act
The burden has increased by 18,852 hours from the last approved submission. The increase in burden is solely due to adjustments. There are no program changes.
**** Please see the table on pages 32-33 of the Supporting Justification for an itemized breakdown of all adjustments.
The current burden for this collection in the OMB inventory shows a total burden of 314 hours, while the present submission exhibits a total of 18,866 hours. Hence, there is an increase in burden of 18,852 hours from the previous submission.
Also, the cost to respondents has increased by $75 (from $1,225 to $1,300). This increase is an adjustment reflecting increased postage costs. [Note: Although the previous submission showed a cost to respondents of $1,225, ROCIS incorrectly listed the cost as $1,000. Consequently, ROCIS shows an increase in cost to respondents of $300 instead of the correct increase in cost of $75.]
