Short Statement:
The Commission is reporting an adjustment to this information collection. More carriers will begin to have reporting obligations and recordkeeping requirements applicable to recipients of high-cost universal service support. This adjustment is associated with an increase in respondents from 1,677 to 1,705 (+28), an increase in responses from 1,677 to 1,705 (+28/2 = 14) , and an increase in annual burden hours from 13,416 to 13,640 (+224). The Commission is also reporting program changes due to an increase in responses from annual reporting to quarterly reporting. However, there is a decrease in response time that affects burden hours in this collection. These program changes increase the number of responses from 3,357 to 6,828 (+3,471) and annual burden hours from 151,110 to 156,980 (+5,870). Together, the adjustments and program changes resulted in an increase in the number of respondents, annual responses and total annual burden hours. The number of respondents increased from 1,677 to 1,705 (+28); the annual responses from 4,196 to 7,681 (+3,485); and the annual burden hours from 164,526 to 170,620 (+6,094).
