Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The Commission is reporting adjustments to this information collection since the last submission to OMB. There was a decrease in the total number of respondents and total annual responses from 55 to 53 (2) based on corporate mergers, acquisitions and reorganizations of the operating companies. There are also adjustments to the total annual burden hours which have decreased from 7,645 to 2,271 (-5,374) because carriers now file on a consolidated basis at the holding company/affiliated carrier group level rather than as individual operating companies and because a number of these entities have met the requirements for conditional forbearance from a large part of the reporting requirements.
