Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: that the most recent Information Collection Request (ICR) that concluded on 12/1/2015 included inaccurate burden estimates. The previously reported total burden hours was 13,500. The CDFI Fund has more accurate data on burden hours provided by applicants based on how many hours it took to complete the previous application. Based on this data, the CDFI Fund estimates it took applicants an average of 163 hours to complete the previous FA Application for a subtotal of 65,200 hours assuming 400 FA. Additionally, it took TA applicants an average of hours to complete the previous TA application for a subtotal of 10,000 hours assuming 100 TA applications. Therefore, a more accurate estimate of the total burden hours for the previous ICR is 75,200 hours and not 13,500 as currently indicated in ROCIS It is anticipated that the amount of time for applicants to complete the new FA Application will decrease from an average of 163 hours to 100 hours and from 100 to 50 hours for the TA application. This revision reflects a decrease in hours due to reduction in the number of questions in the application.
