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 53 to 49 (-4) 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 2,271 to 1,715 (-556) because carriers now file on a consolidated basis at the holding company/affiliated carrier group level rather than as individual operating companies and because all of these entities forbearance from a large part of the reporting requirements.
