ICR Summary of Burden

table that charts list of burden

	Total Approved	Previously Approved	Change Due to New Statute	Change Due to Agency Discretion	Change Due to Adjustment in Estimate	Change Due to Potential Violation of the PRA
Annual Number of Responses	12,580	17,855	0	-5,275	0	0
Annual Time Burden (Hours)	4,340	9,639	0	-5,299	0	0
Annual Cost Burden (Dollars)	0	0	0	0	0	0

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

Burden Increase Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

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

Burden Reduction Due to: Using Information Technology

Short Statement: The program change (i.e., decrease in the burden hours by 5299 hours) is due to the deletion of six data collection instruments for individuals applying as either new or continuing scholars to the IHSSP, and an adjustment in the projected number of applicants and recipients who will be using these forms based on the last three years of IHSSP activity. The IHSSP streamlined the application process by converting the IHS-856 form series to an electronic tool and reduced the number of supplemental forms to minimize the burden hours.
