Short Statement:
The current burden inventory is 500 estimated annual respondents, 1,610 estimated annual responses and 14,370 estimated annual burden hours. With this reinstatement the agency is seeking 125 estimated annual respondents, 250 estimated annual responses and 4,250 estimated annual burden hours. This reflects a decrease of 375 estimated respondents, a decrease of 1,360 responses, and a decrease of 10,120 estimated burden hours. These changes are the result of program changes. This reflects the transition of the funding opportunity from the application period to implementation of the grant agreements, where the total number of respondents is known and limited, which includes State governments (Universities). No future awards to new recipients are anticipated under this funding opportunity and the reporting and recordkeeping burden is limited to ongoing reports on performance and financial status to monitor progress of the grant awards.
