Short Statement: For some reason, the ROCIS system does not reflect the current OMB inventory of 78,002 ICR Annual Responses and 47,521 ICR Annual Hours for this collection of information. Taking this into account, the burden for this information collection submission has increased by 8,254 hours. One program change under new section 225.6 increased the burden by 424 hours. The rest of the burden increase of 7,830 hours results from adjustments, which are spelled out in the answer to question number 15 of the Supporting Justification. The burden cost to respondents has decreased by $20,000. The decrease is due to a program change, which eliminated the requirement and expense for notarization of Form FRA F 6180.55 (a reduction of $16,000 in costs)and to one adjusted estimate, which decreased the cost by $4,000. Please Note: The current OMB inventory has the costs to respondents listed as $178,286. The correct number is $175,500, which a check of the last two FRA information collection submissions will confirm. ***Please note also that the Proposed (Revised) FRA Guide for Preparing Accident/Incident Reports contains the most current version/revisions of all the Accident/Incident Forms in Appendix H.
