Short Statement: All of the ARRA HGEI grants have now been awarded under the ARRA HGEI SGAs and through the ARRA of 2009 Health Care Pilot. Thus the actual total number of grants is 251 rather than 262, the original estimate. However, although the total number of grantees is slightly less than the previous estimate, the estimated annual participant count has increased from 33,000 to 77,160, raising the net total annual responses to 78,772 and the total annual burden hours to 164,680. Note that minor nonsubstantive changes have been made to ETA 9153, and accordingly to the Handbook and Glossary, to increase clarity and do not impact respondent burden.
