Short Statement: There are no program changes. Based on the average number of actual filings received recently, we are adjusting the FERC-598 burdens by increasing the number of responses from 250 to 300, and by increasing the number of hours from 1,500 to 1,800. The revised estimates are due to normal industry fluctuations (e.g., companies entering or leaving the field) in the average number of annual EWG and FUCO filings.
