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

Burden Reduction Due to: Changing Forms

Short Statement: The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act added one new type of applicant for grants under "regular" and one under "disaster." The agency estimates a total of 9 additional grant submissions annually from these categories. In addition, the legislation that authorized the Health Coverage Tax Credit (HCTC) has expired. The tax credit is not available for tax years after 2013. Therefore ETA 9103-4 was removed, as the collection no longer has practical utility for the agency. It accounted for 36 hours in estimated burden by 24 respondents/responses. Thus the responses are now 1,587 and the expected burden 1,084 hours.
