This revision removes the
workplan, public report, and implementation review reporting
requirements. It also the amends the number of respondents for the
semi-annual and budget reports to reflect the current number of
active grantees. Updates to reporting metrics for the SBM
Individual Market (formerly known as Weekly and Monthly Periodic)
reports results in a net decrease of 192 metrics. The changes to
the Quarterly Periodic reports results in a net decrease of 332
metrics. The addition of the SBM three-year budget report adds 272
hours to this package. Thus, there is a total net reduction of
18,403 hours.
