Burden Reduction Due to:
Short Statement:
There is a significant increase in the number of awards from 1,100 in FY 2014 to 2,630 in FY 2017. We attribute this increase to a program change to allow incentives for voluntarily applying for grants under $50,000. So far this has not increased our number of applicants as we hoped but it has increased in the number of awards. As a result, we have an increase in the number of respondents who need to complete Semi-Annual Performance Report, 080-0-0-13 and Final Performance Report, FEMA Form 080-0-0-16. The Semi-Annual Performance Report is being completed twice annually by our grant recipients. The increase in burden hours for the Semi-Annual Performance report is from 176 to 870. Also, additional questions have been added to the Semi-Annual Performance report. There are no expected changes to the burden hours based on these additional questions. The Final Performance Report, FEMA Form 080-0-0-16, has been added to this ICR due to the requirement for grant recipients to complete this form at the end of the grant cycle. There is a 7,830-burden hour increase due to the addition of this collection instrument. There is a total increase of 8,524 annual burden hours
