Burden Increase Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Changing Forms

Short Statement: CSREES is revising this collection to make minor programmatic changes to one of its agency specific forms and adding one new form as a result of 7 CFR 3406.6. The reason for the change in burden is due to CSREES’ use of the federal-wide forms included in the SF-424 form families for all CSREES programs. CSREES was successful in streamlining its application process and therefore achieved a reduction in burden for grant applicants.
