Short Statement: . In this revised collection, the Commission moved the information collection requirements contained in OMB Control No. 3060-0387 and consolidated them into this existing collection. In addition, the Commission moved sections 47 CFR §§2.948 and 2.949 and its corresponding burdens associated with those rules which are currently approved under OMB Control No. 3060-0057. As a result of these changes and the re-evaluation of figures for this information collection since it was last approved by OMB, the Commission is reporting adjustments/increases and decreases to this collection. There is a decrease to the total number of respondents of -380, decrease to total annual responses of -121, increase to the total annual burden hours of +238, and an increase to the total annual costs of +$50,000.
