Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: Approval is requested for a decreased burden level. Original OMB approval for the Grant Reviewer Database form was for a total of 2,750 hours where the new reviewer file creation would take 0.75 hours, and the update 0.5 hours. This current request is for the Reviewer Recruitment Module (RRM) form for 1,707 total burden hours, where a new file creation is 0.33 hours and the file update is 0.16 hours. This is a decrease of 1,043 hours based on the unique simplicity and search power of the RRM system. The 2008 submission anticipated 3,700 reviewers registering in the new database, and we estimate the same number of active reviewers in the future. Now that existing reviewers must annually re-verify or re-register with fresh information, we anticipate a decrease in the estimated number of mid-year file updates (250).
