Short Statement:
The Commission has the following adjustments to this information collection since it was last approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB): (a) We have adjusted the total number of respondents from 21 to 13 based on a decrease in the number of price cap carriers. The total number of annual responses has decreased from 21 to 13 and the total annual burden has decreased from 210 hours to 130 hours. (b) We have adjusted the total estimate of "in house costs" to respondents based on the current salary table. We estimate that respondents will use senior staff to prepare the cost support data, at a cost of approximately $55 per hour. This adjustment results in a decrease of $9,650 in-house costs to respondents, from $16,800 to $7,150. (c) The Commission has increased the tariff filing fee from $815 to $845, but due to the decrease in the number of respondents that cost was offset. Therefore, there is a decrease in the total annual cost of $6,220. (d) We have eliminated references to sections 1.774, 69.707, 69.713, and 69.729 because, based on further review, we found that these sections are not applicable to this information collection and were inadvertently included in earlier submissions. Also, these rule sections already have PRA coverage under collection 3060-0760. Therefore, the Commission is also removing the rule sections from this collection to avoid duplication. We also inadvertently included sections 61.55 and 61.58 in earlier submissions. The Commission has determined that these rules sections do not impose PRA burdens because they are simply general tariff and notification filing requirements.
