Justification for Nonsubstantive Change

Issue 1: Expiration Date

ACF submitted the National Medical Support Notice (NMSN) Part A, OMB Control # 0970-0222, and requested 3/31/2016 as the new expiration date to synchronize the expiration of Part A with Department of Labor's (DOL) NMSN Part B, OMB Control # 1210-0113. ACF received approval with an approval date of 8/31/2016 and not the requested approval date of 3/16. The NOA for DOL's Part B (OMB Control #1210-0113) expires 3/31/2016; therefore, ACF requests the expiration date for Part A be changed from 08/31/2016 to 3/31/2016.

Issue 2: Burden Hours

ACF originally estimated the annual burden hours to be 897,575 hours for the National Medical Support Notice Part A; however, we no longer anticipate any changes. We would like to revise the burden back to the previously approved burden hours of 123,508.
