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

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: Currently, there are 10,960 hours in the OMB inventory. CMHS is requesting 8,145 hours. The decrease of 2,815 hours is due to a reduction in providers and efficiency due to the use of HMIS to collect data throughout the year. The HMIS generates a PATH Annual Report that providers use to data enter the report into the PDX. There is a decrease in local provider agencies (5 less agencies), a decrease of number of hours to complete the report (15). This burden estimate is based on past program experience and reports from State PATH Contacts.
