Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The Burden responses for FERC 725X was adjusted by agency estimate due to fluctuations. VAR-001-5 decreased by 2 burden responses. VAR-002-4.1 decreased by 846 burden responses. The burden for the FERC-725X information collection has decreased in the number of entities and burden hours. There was a difference in burden hours and cost by +17,880 hours (adjusted the burden per response and reduced how many times it occurs per year to 1 for VAR-002-4.1) due to normal industry fluctuations and correction of an accounting error. These industry fluctuations (e.g. companies merging/splitting, companies entering or leaving the industry) caused the number of respondents to decrease and their associated annual burden to increase.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $8,396
