Short Statement: As part of implementing DOC, Office of the Inspector General recommendations, EDA revised its RLF reporting forms to ensure that the form is suitably integrated into an automated RLF reporting, tracking, monitoring, and management system, and to minimize the paperwork burden on RLF grantees to the extent possible. EDA addressed these issues by creating a web-based grantee reporting system that eliminates all duplicative and calculable fields, as well as using other efficiency measures. The implementation of the web-based system and the creation of one form, instead of two forms, reduced the burden hour by 18,873. The burden increase is because all grantees are required to report on a semi-annual basis instead of yearly.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $164,250
