The burden
estmated of one hour per application seems low. Upon the Agency's
next submission for OMB approval, the Agency shall contact at least
three previous recipients and seek their opinion of whether this
estimate is appropriate. The Agency is reminded that the burden
includes the time it takes the recipients to gather the information
needed for the application, as well as the time the contacts
provided in the application spend answering questions about the
nominee. The Agency shall also specify in the next FR 60 and 30 day
notices that it is estimating the burden per application to be one
hour.
