The Commission is reporting
adjustments to this information collection since the last
submission to OMB. There was a decrease in the total number of
respondents and total annual responses from 55 to 53 (2) based on
corporate mergers, acquisitions and reorganizations of the
operating companies. There are also adjustments to the total annual
burden hours which have decreased from 7,645 to 2,271 (-5,374)
because carriers now file on a consolidated basis at the holding
company/affiliated carrier group level 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.
