Burden Increase Due to:

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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The Commission is reducing the total annual burden estimates by ((2012) 3,541 – (2015) 1,824 = 1,717) reduced by 1,717 hours, because there are fewer licenses subject to the substantial service requirement; in LMDS, the majority of licenses that have met substantial service and will not be subject to that requirement again until after 2018; and in MAS, the number of responses are reduced due to the cancellation of a large number of licenses. This adjustment reflects the reduction in our total hourly burden estimates and a reduction in our total number of responses by ((2012) 1,114 – (2015) 585 = 529), reduced by 529 based on a number of licensees having met their substantial service requirements. We are adjusting the annual reporting cost burden from (2012) $462,278 to (2015) $315,150. This adjustment results decreased by $147,128 reflecting the number of estimated responses and updated estimates of the costs involved. There are no program changes to this collection.
