Miscellaneous Actions
There are program changes to this collection. This is because financial hardship requests may no longer be filed and, therefore, the burden associated with such requests has been eliminated. In addition, this is based on staff experience with receiving general waiver requests. Therefore, the annual number of respondents has decreased by 200, the number of annual responses has decreased by 200, the annual burden hours have decreased by 1,150 and the annual cost has decreased by $78,000. There are adjustments to this collection which are due to the Commission recalculating the burden for this collection. The number of respondents has decreased by 80, the number of annual responses has decreased by 80 and the annual burden hours have decreased by 1,600.
