Short Statement: Because this collection expired, all of the data is a program change. However, we have now acknowledged the applicants who did not qualify (1,000 this time) which we had not done previously. This does not change the amount of time taken to process the qualified applicants. The number applicants has risen from 3,500 to 8,000 in part (1,000) because we previously were not counting all the applications reviewed but only the qualified and also (3,500) because of an increase in applications. We also saw a change in the Annual Costs which went down from $525,000 to $180,620.00 because we inadvertently counted tribal time that was really federal when they were acting as our contractor.
