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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The decrease in burden responses, as shown in the Table 3 below, is attributed to the removal of the Application Guide in the burden calculation. This item was removed because the Application Guide does not collect information from the applicant. Rather, it provides information on how to build a successful application for the program. Three forms (RD 400-1, RD 400-4 and SF-LLL) were also removed from the calculation and will be submitted as common forms. The increase in burden hours is due to inserting placeholders in the burden worksheet for phase 2 BPM Applications (lines A39, A41 thru 43 on burden worksheet) to acknowledge this part of the application even though the program does not anticipate these items being submitted for this update.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $110,864
