Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The number of respondents has increased from 450 up to 478, causing an increase of 448 hours in the total burden hours over the past grant cycle. The increase in the number of TS projects funded is a result of an increase in funding to the Federal TRIO budget that allowed for an increase in the number of applicants awarded a TS grant under the most recent TS grant competition. Therefore, the number of projects currently completing the Talent Search APR is 478 grantees. Furthermore, ten questions have been added to the existing collection: six questions to allow grantees to report on the outcome for the new objective on postsecondary attainment and four questions to allow grantees to report on the outcomes of the competitive preference priorities used in the FY 2016 competition for new awards. These additional questions will result in an increase of two burden hours per grantee and a total burden increase of 956 hours for all grantees.
