Short Statement: On August 19, 2014, the DC Circuit issued its mandate vacating 47 CFR 64,604(c)(10), and the Commission now submits rule 47 CFR 64.604(c) without 47 CFR 64.604(c)(10) to OMB for review and approval. On August 22, 2014, the Commission issued the iTRS Waiver Order eliminating the requirement that IP CTS and CTS providers file annual reports regarding the TRS mandatory minimum standards. Due to these actions, the Commission makes the following program changes as follows: (a) The Commission's estimate for the number of responses has decreased by -37,269, from 745,280 responses to 708,011 responses; (b) The Commission's estimate for the total annual burden hours has decreased by -29,172 from 542,252 hours to 513,080; and (c) The Commission's estimate for the total annual cost has decreased by -$774,000, from $1,008,000.00 to $234,000.00. Due to the number of existing consumers who has already provided self-certifications since August 28, 2014, (the date the collection of information became effective), and one provider joining the pool of providing IP CTS, the Commission has re-evaluated the number of respondents and concluded the following adjustment to be: a decreased by -37,999 respondents, from 186,005 to 148,006. Also, the Commission re-evaluated the burdens since the last submission and determined the number of responses and hours has decreased due to consumers providing self-certifications providers complying to the requirements that since the August 28, 2014. The annual cost has increased because a small percentage of consumers have already complied with the requirement since August 28, 2014, the one-time requirement for consumers to acquire professional certification is no longer annualized over the course of three years. Therefore, the Commission makes the following adjustments: (d) The Commission's estimate for the number of responses has decreased by -152,001, from 708,011 responses to 556,010 responses; (e) The Commission's estimate for the total annual burden hours has decreased by -114,008, from 513,080 hours to 399,072 hours; and (f) The Commission's estimate for the total annual cost has increased +$1,446,000, from $234,000 to $1,680,000.00.
