Short Statement: The Commission is reporting adjustments/decreases to this information collection. We estimate 3 respondents a year which produce an estimated 9 responses annually. The decreases to the total number of respondents and total annual responses resulted a reduction in the total annual burden hours. The total annual burden hours changed from 366 to 227 (-139). Lastly, the cost of filing a formal complaint has increased by $370 per filing which, as noted above, reflect an extensive cost study. There is not a separate filing associated with making a request to be placed on the FCC’s Accelerated Docket. These estimates reflect adjustments to this information collection from the last submission to OMB based on more recent staff experience. Although there was an increase in the filing fee, there was a decrease in the total annual cost from $97,175 to $61,215 (-$35,960).

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $18,262
