Short Statement: This renewal submission is correcting an error in accounting for agency burden. The previous package inadvertently counted burden that is accounted for under RHS OMB collections. During the this review it was discovered that eleven forms were double counted, once in the RUS package and once in the RHS package(s) This resulted in a duplication of 1770.75 burden hours (shown as a program change). This change has resulted in an overall decrease of 829 responses, 1142 to 313 and 1770.75 hours from 2500 to 729.25 for this renewal submission. Additionally, we have an adjustment to the number of annual responses for this burden cycle going from 1675 to 313, in addition we have an adjustment in the number of respondents going from 991 to 62. This is based on servicing actions listed under this burden package varies from year to year along with how many respondents participate in a particular action. Not all respondents will participate in any or every single action, yet, a respondent can participate in multiple actions, which is why the Number of Respondents varies so drastically from the overall caseload composition.
