Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The Commission is reporting adjustments/decreases to this information since the last submission to OMB. The total respondents decreased from 1,175 to 1,066 (-109), the total annual responses decreased from 1,175 to 1,066 (-109), and the total annual burden hours decreased from 35,715 to 1,066 (-34,649). These changes are due to the fact that applications requiring regional plan certifications, while more numerous than initial plans or plan modifications, require significantly less information and are therefore significantly less burdensome. Also, the Commission is reporting a program change because we are voluntarily discontinuing the information collection for rule section 47 CFR § 90.1211 - Regional Plan. Since the Commission has stayed this rule since 2004, the burdens associated with this collection have been “0” since that time which did not impact this submission to OMB.
