Short Statement:
We have adjusted the number of respondents to reflect changes in the marketplace. In particular, we have decreased the number of incumbent LECs from 1,340 to 1,307. The total number of incumbent LECs plus competitive LECs has decreased from 2,840 to 2,749 (-91). To reflect the removal of the one-time tariff filing requirements necessitated by the Rate-of-Return Report and Order and the addition of the one-time tariff filing requirement to implement the Business Data Services Order which resulted in a program change to: - The total annual responses have decreased from 5,437 to 4,165 (-1,272); and - The total annual burden hours have decreased from 66,000 to 60,878 (-5,122).
