Short Statement: The changes to the collection since the previous OMB approval include: updating the web ad-dress, adding a submit button to the forms, decreasing the estimated number of responses, decreasing the burden time, and increasing the cost estimates. The web address, which houses the forms, has been updated from www.publicsafetytools.info to https://www.dhs.gov/ictapscip-resources. A submit button was added to each form to offer an easier way for respondents to submit the completed forms electronically. There has been no change to the data collected on the forms. The decrease in the overall average annual burden and costs to respondents is a result of change in the agency estimates after a review of historical data collected. The Department has also updated the wages and compensation factors used to calculate the burden to both the respondents and the government. For the Technical Assistance Request Form, the estimated annual number of responses increased from 56 to 94. This adjustment results in an increase in the annual burden to respondents by 16 burden hours and an increase in the annual burden to the government by 7 burden hours. For the Technical Assistance Evaluation Form, the estimated annual number of responses decreased from 2,000 to 128. The estimated burden time per response decreased from 25 minutes to 5 minutes. These adjustments result in a decrease in the annual burden to respondents by 829 burden hours and a decrease in the annual burden to the government by 299 burden hours. As result of all the changes, the total annual burden estimates for the collection decreased by 814 annual burden hours and $22,927.39 in annual burden cost for respondents. For the government, the annual burden hours decreased by 292 hours and the annual government cost decreased by $14,730.73.
