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

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: The previous submission inadvertently included the TAA Certification Report as part of the annualized burden hour total. This report is not a form that is generated by the NEG program. As a result, the expected total responses, average time per response, and expected burden hours have been reduced as a result of the removal of this report from the Estimated Total Annualized Hour Burden chart. Lastly, the On-the-Job Training NEG Implementation Plan was also removed from the burden calculations. Most of these grants have expired and, of the few remaining, in the event that any modifications/updates need to be made to their existing Implementation Plans, that minor effort is easily covered within the burden estimate provided under Grant Modifications in the burden estimate table above.
