The Commission revises this collection
to implement the Supply Chain Reimbursement Program, and related
requirements, for the reimbursement of expenses by providers of
advanced communications services for the removal, replacement, and
disposal of covered communications equipment and service that poses
a national security risk.
The Commission is reporting
program changes to this information collection as a result of new
requirements and the elimination of an existing requirement. The
estimated total number of respondents, total annual responses,
total annual burden hours and total annual costs have therefore
increased under this OMB control number. The total number of
respondents increased from 2,257 to 3,500 (+1,243); the total
annual responses increased from 2,257 to 10,250 (+7,993); the total
annual burden hours increased from 6,771 to 27,400 (+20,629); and
the total annual costs increased from $0 to $1,125,000
(+$1,125,000). There are no adjustments.
