Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There has been a reduction in burden hours. When documenting the burden imposed by this collection previously, ETA mistakenly included overpayments as a separate burden collection that states submit to OUI. This was incorrect; there are data elements in the 902 report for overpayments but they are not separate or an additional collection to the 902. The burden listed in section 12, above, should represent an accurate estimate of the work associated with meeting the reporting requirements in this collection. In addition, prior documents overestimated burden by overcounting potential respondents on the final report for each state disaster declaration. The reduction in burden reflects a more accurate estimate, with the states providing just one annual report per disaster declaration. Finally, the previous submission in ROCIS included some burden for third party disclosures. This ICR does not necessitate third party disclosures.
