Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Changing Regulations

Short Statement: The burden for the FERC-725L information collection is experiencing both reductions and increases. • The reductions are due to RD20-4 (program decrease) associated with modifications made to Reliability Standards MOD-033-2 and MOD-031-3. Two reliability standards (MOD-031-3 and MOD-033-2 experienced decreases (adjustments) to their respective annual burdens due to RD20-4). • Three reliability standards had increases to their respective annual burdens (MOD-025-2, MOD-026-1, and MOD-027-1) due to adjustments to the number of affected respondents (due to normal industry fluctuations, e.g., companies entering/leaving the industry, or merging/splitting).
