Abstract:
On September 19, 2023, the Commission released a Report and Order wherein it adopted several revisions to its Part 73 rules including 73.3700. As a result of these rule revisions, a number of collections and burdens were eliminated altogether. Sections 73.3700(b)(4)(i) and (ii) and 73.3700(d) of the rules were eliminated and therefore the corresponding collections and burdens for these rules have been eliminated. Also, revisions were made to estimates for 73.3700(c), 73.3700(g)(4) and 73.3700 (h)(5) and (h)(6) to reflected updated data now that the incentive auction is complete and the exact universe of affected entities is known.
