Short Statement: The current OMB inventory for this information collection shows a total burden of 856,406 hours and 268,799 responses, while the requesting inventory estimates a total burden of 49,761 hours and 222,386 responses. Overall, the burden for this submission has decreased by 806,645 hours and decreased by 46,413 responses. There is no change in the method of the collection. The decrease in burden is solely the result of adjustments. FRA determined some of the estimates were not PRA requirements and were completed/fulfilled by the railroad industry. For instance, 608,100 burden hours under § 242.105(a)(2), (d), and (e) were removed because the railroad industry has completed the burden associated with these requirements. Additionally, the cost to respondents from the previous submission has decreased by $339,074 (from $1,409,665 to $1,070,591). The certification programs are submitted electronically thus offsetting the cost of paper copies and postage. The table under question 15 of the supporting justification provides specific information on any burden estimates that have changed from the previous submission.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $212,546
