This program adjustment is due to the number of CMV drivers increasing from 6.4 million to 7.0 million. In addition, the paperwork burden of drivers increased from two to three categories: "Filling out the RODS,Forwarding the RODS to the Motor Carrier, and Forwarding the Supporting Documents to the Motor Carrier." The paperwork burden of motor carriers also increased from two to three categories: "Reviewing the RODS, Maintaining the RODS, and Maintaining the Supporting Documents."
