ICR Summary of Burden

	Total Approved	Previously Approved	Change Due to New Statute	Change Due to Agency Discretion	Change Due to Adjustment in Estimate	Change Due to Potential Violation of the PRA
Annual Number of Responses	1,114	1,474	0	0	-360	0
Annual Time Burden (Hours)	3,541	4,261	0	0	-720	0
Annual Cost Burden (Dollars)	462,278	369,000	0	0	93,278	0

Burden increases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Increase Due to:

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The FCC reduced the total annual burden by 720 hours, because there are fewer licenses subject to the substantial service requirement; in LMDS there are over 100 licenses that have met substantial service and will not be subject to that requirement again until 2018 and in MAS, the number of responses are reduced to the cancellation of a large number of licenses. This adjustment reflects the reduction of 360 fewer responses based on the number of licensees having met their substantial service requirements, and we revised our estimates based on our review of the filings made over the last 3 years. Finally, we are adjusting the annual reporting cost burden by the $369,000 to $462,278. This cost adjustment results in an increase of $93,278 reflecting the number of responses and updated estimates of the costs involved.
