Short Statement:
This revision estimates reflect numbers of discretionary grant/cooperative agreement applications received in the past and the average length of time it takes to complete the applications submitted. Since generic clearances must request all three years of burden upfront, FNS plans is to depict annual estimates and multiple by three-years the lifecycle of the approval; therefore, FNS is requesting 405,231 total response and 1,058,432.28 burden hours for the next three years.
