*Estimates include time spent validating each data point. This was a highly involved, time intensive process in FY2015, but now that figures are validated, it should take far less time in future years.

**Migrating EFNEP data into NIFA reporting systems is a new requirement for FY2015; we have not started yet and thus do not have estimates at this time.

***Estimates are based on a normal year. The review process is more intensive when a new plan is due (every 5-years).

****Assumes two budget submissions (preliminary and final) in a given year. Hours/costs are cut in half when budget does not change and only one submission is required.
