Short Statement: There are no program changes or changes to reporting requirements for the FERC-725X information collection. The burden for the FERC-725X information collection has decreased in the amount of entities and burden hours. There was a difference in burden hours and cost by 3,640 hours due to normal industry fluctuations and correction of an accounting error described in the supporting statement. These industry fluctuations (e.g. companies merging/splitting, companies entering or leaving the industry) caused the number of respondents and their associated annual burden to decrease.
