Short Statement: As indicated above, there is no additional cost burden associated with collection with respect to respondents or recordkeepers resulting from the collection of information. The information is collected and recorded in the DOE's Performance Accountability for Grants in Energy (PAGE) system, which provides DOE and grantees, including state and local governments, and tribal organizations, with the ability to electronically submit and manage grant performance and financial information. After completing our first collection, we now know that the estimated annualized costs to the federal government are $627,647.40 based on the number of project officers that review each report before it is approved in the PAGE system. We also learned in our initial collection that the burden estimate if 5058 annually based on WAP and EECBG recipients taking two hours to prepare and complete their reports, and SEP recipients taking four hours to prepare and complete their reports.
