The Commission is reporting
adjustments to this information collection since the last
submission to OMB. There was a decrease in the total number of
respondents and total annual responses from 53 to 49 (-4) based on
corporate mergers, acquisitions and reorganizations of the
operating companies. There are also adjustments to the total annual
burden hours which have decreased from 2,271 to 1,715 (-556)
because carriers now file on a consolidated basis at the holding
company/affiliated carrier group level rather than as individual
operating companies and because all of these entities forbearance
from a large part of the reporting requirements.
