Award amendment requests allow EDA to
determine the merit of amending an investment award. The Project
Service Map helps EDA to determine if a project is meeting its
intended economic development goals.
The difference between previous
estimates of 55 responses for 540 hours, and the current estimate
of 632 responses for 1,242 hours is a combination of an
underestimation of responses and overestimation of the complexity
of requests. The ROCIS system is showing $0 cost burden increase
for the previous submission due to rounding off when migrating the
collection to ROCIS. The system allows the actual cost increase of
$278 (postage) to be recorded.
