We find the Fisher Information (FI) matrix in our type II right censored sample and examine the growth pattern of the FI relative to the total FI on $\lambda_1, \lambda_2$, {and} $\lambda_{12}$ as $r/n$ changes in (0,1) for finite and infinite sample sizes. We describe its implications on the design of censored trials. We also consider left and double censoring schemes.
