Short Statement: The estimates have been updated to reflect agreement and related report filings for fiscal year 2015. In this period, the collection of information under part 535 included 258 agreements and modifications, 10 Information Forms (Form FMC-150), 105 Monitoring Reports (Form FMC-151), 16 other reports, 115 contract guidelines, 785 minute filings, and 1,295 recordkeeping items. The NPRM would exempt certain basic agreements from the 45-day waiting period and Information Form requirements. It would require more capacity agreements and modifications adding members to effective capacity and rate agreements to submit Information Forms, but reduce the amount of Information Form data required from parties to rate agreements. It would increase the number of capacity agreements required to submit Monitoring Reports, and reduce the amount of Monitoring Report data required from parties to rate agreements. It would likely increase the number of meeting minute filings to include discussions conducted by new forms of electronic media. Based on these changes, it is estimated that the annual burden for the collection of information under 46 CFR part 535 would be reduced by 1,544 hours, or 11 percent, from 13,571 hours (with no changes to the regulations) to 12,027 hours (with the changes proposed by the NPRM).
