Annualized burden estimates
increased due to the incorporation of Standard Forms (8,622 burden
hours), optional administrative form to report performance (17,172
burden hours), and new information collections and reporting
related to USDA Office of Inspector General Audit (1,350 burden
hours). At the same time, total estimate decreased by 13,853 due to
better accounting of the average number of awards and agreements
executed on a yearly basis and the average number of responses per
partner in a given year. Forest Service is requesting a total of
49,751 burden hours which is an increase from the previous OMB
approved 39,352 burden hours. This revised estimate reflects the
total annual burden on the public to develop grant and agreement
proposals, scope of works, budgets and budget justifications, and
administrative activities related to requesting, accepting, and
spending Federal dollars under the associated statute and
regulatory requirements.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
