Native American Burden Chart

We estimate that the Department will receive approximately 80 new applications for awards under the Native American Career and Technical Education Program

(NACTEP). Additionally, it is estimated that the applicants will spend 120 hours

developing their grant applications, and the total respondent burden will be

9,600 hours. Based on the average preparation time of 120 hours per response, it is estimated that 100 hours would be used for review, research, gathering information, etc. The remaining 20 hours would be used for typing, xeroxing, and submission. Once the five-year grants are awarded, the burden hours will be significantly reduced, because grantees will only need to submit narrative goals and objectives, budget information, performance data, GPRA, and evaluation reports. As a result, the amount of time for grantees and program staff will be significantly decreased.
