Estimation of the total numbers of
hours needed to prepare the information

number of respondents is 400 with a

the total hours per respondent is 76.50
hours for application development. The
estimated 104 agencies that will receive
funding and have to provide quarterly
and final reports, with approximately 59
having to provide Enforcement Logs and
1 agency reporting on a semi-annual
basis. The estimated number of
respondents is based on the average of
the number of submissions for NOFA
years 2008 to current. The number of
hours is an average based on grantee
estimates of time to review instructions,
search existing data sources, prepare
required responses to the application,
complete the certification, and assemble
exhibits.
Status of the proposed information
collection: Revision of a currently
approved collection.
Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act
