Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: The overall burden has increased due to an increase in program size and updated requirements for scholars and employers but decreased in terms of burden hours per respondent due to the implementation of electronic forms. The number of active grantees and scholars has grown, which has increased the number of respondents. Additionally, PDPDCS requests that scholars and employers complete the Scholar Employment Form every 6 months, rather than every year, to improve data quality and understanding and avoid referral for cash repayment. While this has increased the number of responses, the burden hours have decreased because scholars and employers are simply verifying information that is already in the system. Implementing the electronic forms also led to a reduction in burden hours, and has significantly deceased the system security risk, improved data quality and timely submissions, and allowed grantees and scholars to complete the agreements virtually. The optional use of electronic forms created a need to update the burden calculation process, which is described in more detail in the supporting statement.
