Short Statement:
This is an extension without change (with changes in estimates) of a currently approved information collection request (ICR). The current OMB inventory for this ICR Reflects a total burden of 507 hours and 117 responses, while the requesting inventory estimates a total burden of 141 hours and 93 responses. Overall, the adjustments reduced the total burden by 366 hours and 24 responses. The reduced burden hours are a result of 126 one-time start-up burden hours required by Amtrak to initially create a system to process, prepare, and submit this data. Now that a system has been implemented, the estimated timeframe it takes to produce the data has been reduced and is reflected in the adjusted burden hours for each of the requirement show in the table below.
