Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There is a 4 hour increase in the estimate of burden hours, from 78 to 82. The increase is due to an agency adjustment because of an increase in the numbers of electric respondents from 568 to 601 and a decrease in Telecom respondents with less of an impact on burden hours. Among the 226 telecommunications and broadband respondents, no adjustments were necessary. There were fewer respondents than the prior collection package, yet this resulted in no decrease in the number of burden hours.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $31,936
