Short Statement:
The Commission notes the following program change and adjustment to this information collection from the previous submission to OMB: a) The burden hours have increased to reflect the additional time needed to prepare the new information required under section 63.04(a)(4); this program change resulted in an increase of +340 (from 861 to 1,201). Respondents continue to file applications electronically at the Commission. b) The number of respondents/total annual responses remains the same at 92. c) There is an adjustment/increase in the application fee from $1,195 to $1,230 per application, due to the Commission’s increase in its filing fees; this adjustment resulted in an increase of +$2,975 (from $101,575 to $104,550). Also, the filing fees for STA requests was inadvertently omitted from prior submissions; this adjustment resulted in an increase of +$3,375 to the total annual cost burden.
