Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The total burden for this information collection has increased by 2,000 hours from the last submission. The increase is due solely to an adjustment in one of the estimates. Specifically, under section 224.15, Special Approval Procedures, FRA raised its estimate of the number of petitions for special approval (from 10 to 60). This change in estimate increased the burden by 2,000 hours. The current inventory shows a total burden of 54,787 hours, while the present submission exhibits a burden total of 56,787 hours. Hence, there is an incrase of 2,000 hours.
