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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The Commission is reporting adjustments to this information collection since the last submission to OMB. There was an increase in the total number of respondents from 45 to 53 (8 respondents) based on corporate mergers, acquisitions and reorganizations of the operating companies. Also, there was an increase in the total number of annual responses from 45 to 53 (8 responses). We have adjusted the burdens hours which have decreased from 3,960 to 1,928 (-2,032) because carriers now file based on consolidated filings on a holding company/affiliated carrier group basis rather than as individual operating companies and because a number of these entities have met the requirements for conditional forbearance from a large part of the reporting requirements.
