Short Statement:
Beginning in 2011, DCS has been modified to allow for additional data collection of program elements on Energy Efficiency Initiatives and Renewable Energy, which increased burden by 3 hours for the Distribution submission and 1 hour for the Power Supply submission resulting in a program increase of 2,069 hours. There is an adjustment of 5,283 hours attributed to an error in the number of respondents for the annual submission of Financial and Operating Report for Power Supply and Financial and Operating Report for Distribution Borrowers from the last reporting cycle.
Annual Cost to Federal Government:
$1,716,590
