This revision implements the requirement that ETCs provide written notice to their customers who are currently receiving enhanced support who will no longer be eligible for enhanced Tribal support. In addition, the Commission seeks to update the number of respondents for most of the existing information collection requirements, thus increasing the total burden hours for some requirements and decreasing the total burden hours for other requirements.

notice to their customers who are currently receiving enhanced support 
who will no longer be eligible for enhanced Tribal support. In 
addition, the Commission seeks to update the number of respondents for 
most of the existing information collection requirements, thus
