Short Statement: The Department will no longer require a Community Benefits Plan, which was estimated at 14 hours per application. As explained above, DOE anticipates approximately the same number of respondents to the program. Where DOE once assumed 92 applicants, it now estimates 100 applicants given recent appropriations and program expiry dates. DOE anticipates approximately the same number of burden hours to produce an application, and approximately the same number of applicants. However, there is a net increase in total time burden, attributable to the increased number of applicants; and a net increase in total cost burden attributable to increases in employer costs for total employee compensation from 2020 to 2025 across all occupational categories and functions.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $72,500,000
