There are no program changes. Based on the average number of actual filings received recently, we are adjusting the FERC-598 burdens by increasing the number of responses from 147 to 250, and by increasing the number of hours from 882 to 1,500. The revised estimates are due to normal industry fluctuations in the average number of annual EWG and FUCO filings.
