industry and non-industry groups may submit to the Commission for
approval nominations for individuals to be appointed to the USAC

to select USAC's Board of directors; and (2) to ensure that
requests for review are filed properly with the

The Commission is reporting a
minor program change to this collection to reflect the addition of
a Tribal board member. This program change will result in an
increase of the total number of respondents and responses from 12
to 13 (+1) and an increase in annual burden hours of +6 hours. This
increase in burden hours is offset by an adjustment of -120 hours
to correct the frequency of responses (only one-third of the board
seats are up for nomination annually). This adjustment results in a
decrease of -114 burden hours. Because more entities are availing
themselves of the opportunity to appeal USAC decisions, there has
been an increase in the number of appeals since the last reporting
period. An additional adjustment is reported to reflect this
increase. Specifically, there was an increase from 545 to 1,400
(+855) appeals, and an increase in annual burden hours from 17,440
to 28,000 (+10,560). Thus, for this collection, the program changes
account for an increase in the total number of responses from 12 to
13 (+1) and an increase in burden hours from 240 to 246 (+6). The
adjustments account for an increase in the total number of
responses from 545 to 1,400 (+855) and an overall increase in
annual burden hours from 17,680 to 28,126 (+10,446).
