For the record, it should be noted that FMCS was in violation of the Paperwork Reduction Act from Oct. 1989 to Sept. 1990, when the agency required the quarterly submission of the LM-7 and LM-8. Previous OMB terms of clearance for these forms stated that "... The agency shall n require the submission of forms LM-7, Financial Status Report, and LM- Project Performance Report, more frequently than semi-annually.... the agency shall further recede to annual reporting or explain why annual reporting would not give the agency sufficient information to carry ou the agency's function." The current request for OMB approval does not respond to these concerns. However discussion with the agency has indicated that certain grant recipients may need the oversight provide by quarterly monitoring. Therefore, we have approved this collection information for three years with the following terms of clearance. Th agency shall not requrie the submission of forms LM-7 and LM-8 more frequently than semi-annually. Should the agency wish to return to quarterly reporting, the agency may resubmit this package at any time with an explanation of why quarterly reporting is essential and whethe such reporting is necessary for all kinds of grant recipients. (To reduce the burden of any resubmission, the agency may use a copy o this package with the explanation attached and, of course, a new SF83.
