Short Statement: The increase in burden is because the SWBPI application collects much more information and that impacts the time it takes grantees to enter the data. The grantees now have to enter all of the case data. In addition the grantees have to provide the prosecution salaries and daily detention per diem rate in order to receive funding as this is part of the new SWBPI calculation.
