Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Changing Regulations

Short Statement: To reflect the removal of the reporting requirement for intrastate VoIP rates and the addition of the tariff filing requirements to implement the Rate-of-Return Report and Order, the Commission is reporting program changes/decreases since the last submission to OMB. There is no change in the total number of respondents, the total number of annual responses decreased by -1,767 and the total burden hours decreased by -54,986 hours. Also, the Commission is reporting adjustments/decreases to this submission since it was last approved by OMB. The number of responses in part E. (Certification Requirement) was miscalculated based on two filings per year, rather than on an annual filing. Therefore, the number of responses is now 1,340, and the burden for that requirement is now 670 hours. We are making a correction to these figures and they are now reflected in our submission to OMB.
