Short Statement:
This submission lowers the estimated number of respondents in response to actual applications received to date. Applicants grant requests are higher than initially estimated. Therefore, with the limited funding available, the program will fund fewer applicants than initially proposed. This change resulted in a significant decrease in the total number of annual responses from 54,300 to 15,389, and an overall number of burden hours from 201,272 to 71,681.
