Abstract:

Short Statement:
The agency is seeking a reinstatement, with change, of a previously approved collection request. The current burden inventory is 897 estimated annual respondents; 897 estimated annual responses; and 6773 estimated annual burden hours. The reinstatement request is seeking 100 estimated annual respondents; 1,300 estimated annual responses; and 300 estimated annual burden hours. This reflects a decrease in the number of estimated respondents (-797), an estimated increase in annual responses (403), as well as a decrease in the estimated number of annual burden hours (-6473) since the last OMB submission. These changes are the result of both: Program changes: • correction of tabulation errors and recalculation of review/data entry processes. Adjustments • reduction in new agreements and funding opportunities.
