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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The burden has increased due to an error calculation in the previous submission and new federal advisory committees and Research and Promotion Boards with more advisory committee member positions. Several Secure Rural Schools Research Advisory Committees merged to consolidate the # of members. Therefore, the # of respondents and responses will remain the same from the previous collection. The federal advisory committee and board member positions are filled intermittently over a 2–4-year period. We receive an average of 3 applications per committee membership vacancy.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $194,178
