Short Statement: There are no program changes from the previously approved submission. The Department has disaggregated burden according to respondent type, in accordance with OMB guidance. (ICs were added to disaggregate NFJP and SCSEP grants into private non-profits and state/local/tribal.) Correcting an earlier inadvertent error of reporting some reporting frequency in the reginfo.gov database (from annual to quarterly) has resulted in an adjustment of 398 responses. Other summary burden information was correct.
