Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Changing Forms

Short Statement: EPA streamlined the Program Progress Reporting form. EPA estimates that for that form the annual burden hours for each grant recipient will be 1.5 hours, which is based on two reports per year, each requiring 0.75 hours to complete (including time for reviewing instructions, completing information and submitting). This is a 50 percent decrease from the respondent burden estimated for the last ICR renewal for the reports. The burden for the quality assurance forms remains the same at one hour for each new grant awarded.
