Short Statement: The Commission is reporting adjustments to this collection from the last submission to OMB. The total annual responses, total annual burden hours and total annual cost increased as result of a regulatory changes in VoIP 911 requirements and merging OMB Control No. 3060-1131 with updated OMB Control No. 3060-1085. The use of VoIP technology has grown rapidly and it increasingly is used to provide voice telephone service. The Commission anticipates that as service providers leverage new technology, previous burden estimates will be reduced.
