Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: In response to feedback from the industry, the burden estimates were updated based on an analysis of applicant data from the last three years (Fiscal Years 2013 – 2015). The updated burden estimate takes into consideration one anticipated increase in applicant burden due to the collection of information on all activities reported in a specific category/sub-category (Table 5 - Reporting BEA Qualified Activities), but also considers three anticipated reductions in applicant burden. The anticipated reductions are related to the following: (1) the implementation of AMIS which will perform several calculations automatically and provide running totals of estimated award amounts based on the transactions entered by an applicant – a task that was formerly performed manually; (2) census tract eligibility determinations in AMIS (applicants previously had to use a separate system to determine this manually) and the availability of BEA Program eligibility data on the CDFI Fund’s public website, will reduce the need for applicants to use the CDFI Fund’s CIMS system to make these determinations; and (3) certain supporting documentation is no longer required to be generated for one particular set of BEA qualified activities. It’s estimated that the application will still take approximately 45 hours to complete. Therefore, the increase of 11 responses and 584 burden hours is an adjustment reflected in the total burden requested of 4,500 hours.
