Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: As described in Item 13, due to programmatic changes, DOE estimates fewer responses annually, reducing from 100 responses to 20 responses; assuming an almost identical hourly burden estimate per response (132.5 hours), the total hourly burden estimate has decreased from 13,000 to 2,650 hours annually. This change arises specifically from the program’s efforts to better educate prospective applicants upfront about eligibility issues and related requirements of the application process, through which efforts DOE expects fewer, but higher quality applications each year in the future. In addition, as described in item 14, as a result of an adjustment to the assumed hourly rate for response to the information request, applied across labor categories, the cost burden for each response has been adjusted slightly, increasing from $25,000 to $26,296 per response. However, as result of the programmatic change described above, the total cost to respondents has significantly decreased from $2,500,000 to $525,917.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $5,500,000
