The structure of the burden changed substantially with this submission and since ROCIS would not allow us to delete the existing ICs, the titles and burden associated with all previously approved ICs in ROCIS were amended to match new IC burden table in question 12 of the Supporting Statement.
With this renewal, the revisions to the portal resulted in an increase of 671,521 annual responses and 66,253 annual burden hours. We consolidated and streamlined business processes based on customer feedback to improve common data elements for reuse and update with standard application interface program or imports. As a result, we reduced portal modules from seven to three with data elements and functionalities that allows for data sharing to lessen the time responding. Specially, the respondents will maintain one portal account and profile applied to various programs, events, and opportunities. Furthermore, we expanded functionality to integrate and coordinate data collection to avoid duplicative efforts.
We also changed the title of the collection from âVolunteer Partnership Managementâ to âNatural and Cultural Resource Agencies Customer Relationship Managementâ to more accurately reflect the purpose of the collection.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).

(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
