OFIA uses the Ask the Advocate Web Form as an electronic intake instrument to gather the required data for each case.

Short Statement:
With the elimination of the Financial Assistance/Subsidy Arrangement Notice of Acceptance, there is a decrease of 46 burden hours to this collection. With the elimination of The MPPP Agreement Receipt for Materials, there is a decrease of 125 burden hours to this collection. Those two removals net a 171 burden hour reduction. The Ask the Advocate Web Form, FEMA Form FF-206-FY-21-121, has a slight increase of 27 burden hours due an increase in expected responses from 700 to 1,000 per year. However, FEMA also noticed an error in ROCIS with our last revision (and current inventory) where the Total Annual Burden (56 hours) from the Supporting Statement A was entered into ROCIS as the Average Burden per Response (0.0833). This technical edit results in a burden decrease of 39,144 burden hours, offset by the increase of 27 burden hours discussed above for an overall decrease of 39,117 for this instrument. With the elimination of two instruments providing a 171 burden hour decrease, plus the change in estimate plus corrections for the remaining instrument providing a 39,117 burden hour decrease, there is a total decrease of 39,288 burden hours to this collection.
