Burden Increase Due to:

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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The increase in total burden is a result of a statutory change that added the University of the District of Columbia to the group of eligible institutions. Although the legislation passed in 2008, it took time for USDA and NIFA to work through the implementation of the statute. We did not know of those changes and what they would mean at the time of our previous submission. Further, implementation by the University of the District of Columbia (UDC) also took time. EFNEP was not fully functional at UDC until FY 2011. Therefore the number of respondents increase from 74 to 75, responses increased from 74 to 75 and the burden hours from 91,982 to 93,225.
