Burden Increase Due to:

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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The total burden has increased by 3,000 hours. The increase is due to three adjustments that revised previous estimates. Specifically, the increase in burden is due to the following increased estimates: (1) Under § 215.9(b)(2), FRA raised its estimate of the number of defective cars moved annually from 60,000 to 75,000. This also increased the number of tags completed (from 120,000 tags to 150,000 tags). This revised estimate increased the burden by 2,500 hours (from 10,000 hours to 12,500 hours). (2) Under § 215.9(b)(3), FRA raised its estimate of the number of notifications (from 60,000 to 75,000). This revised estimate increased the burden by 500 hours (from 2,000 hours to 2,500 hours). The current OMB inventory shows a total burden of 12,750 hours for this collection, while the present submission exhibits a total of 15,750 hours. Hence, there is a total burden increase of 3,000 hours. There is a small change in cost to respondents for printing additional tags. The increase amounts to $900.
