There is no change in the reporting, recordkeeping and/or third party disclosure requirements. However, there is a significant decrease of 409,352 total annual burden hours and a $625,000 decrease in annual costs. This is due to several reasons including: (1) re– calculations of each burden estimate; (2) re–estimate of the estimated time burden for some of the information collection categories; and (3) less time per response due to familiarity gained over the years of performing these functions. The Commission adopted rules and regulations to implement parts of sections 251 and 252 that affect local competition.
