Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: There has been a decrease from the previous submission in the annual burden hours in this collection due to the revision of the PSGP Investment Justification and removal of SF-269 (replaced by SF-425). FEMA Form 089-5 has changed in format to reflect required content outlined in form instructions. The burden and cost have increased due to an increased number of applicants and a more accurate account of form submission requirements since the last OMB review. The burden hours remain largely the same per applicant, however this update reflects a greater number of applicants (597). Additionally the forms required at the time of application are required of all applicants while the reporting forms are required only by grant recipients (296) during reporting. Additionally, of the grant recipients some forms are only required for certain types of projects (e.g. SF-424C for construction projects). The aggregate result of demonstrating those forms also required by applicants (not just grant recipients) greatly increases the number of burden hours and cost previously reported for most Standard Forms (SF), such as the SF-424 which is required by all applicants. Additionally, overall costs were impacted by increased wage rates.
