EDA must collect specific data from
grant recipients to report to Congress and stakeholders on its
performance in meeting its stated goals and objectives.
This submission includes
adjustment decreases in responses, burden hours, and cost due to a
miscalculation that both the centers and clients completed the
forms which led to an exaggerated numbers. Instead, it was
determined that only the centers complete the forms.
