Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The Commission is reporting an adjustment to the burden hours because the number of reporting entities has reduced. This burden falls on incumbent local exchange carriers (LECs). Over time, consolidation of incumbent LECs has reduced their number to from 1400 to approximately 750; therefore, the number of responses has been reduced to 750. The total number of annual responses has also been reduced from 17,340 to 9,720. The annual burden hours for this collection are now estimated to be down from 61,490 hours to 32,845 total annual burden hours.
