Burden increases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Increase Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: Changes made to the HL Accident Report resulted in an additional 2 hours of burden being added to the form. This resulted in an 800 hour burden increase for accident reporting. In addition to this change, PHMSA found an error in the currently-approved burden estimate. The burden was recorded at 52,429 when, in fact, it should have been 55,429. PHMSA believes this to have been completely accidental and, in no way, reflects a change in scope of the currently-approved collection as the previous Supporting Statements will support.
