Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The Commission is reporting an adjustment/decrease in the total annual responses of -19,634. This adjustment reflects the decrease in PSTN users, and the ACTA reported significant drop in TE submissions from 600 per year to 268.4. The Commission is reporting an adjustment/decrease in the total annual burden hours of -9,689 from OMB inventory. This results largely from the reduction of responses to ACTA for TE (Telecommunications Equipment) from 600 in the previous PRA submission in 2017 to 268.4 average annual responses in the last 3 years. Additionally, the significant reduction in the estimated number of PSTN subscribers from 65 million to 45 million in the last 3 years has also had a significant impact. Lastly, the Commission is reporting an adjustment/decrease in the total annual costs (O&M) of -$621,750. Again, this significant reduction aligns with the corresponding reduction in the overall total PSTN subscribers and the TE (Telecommunications Equipment) submissions.
