Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The Management and Organization (M&O) Office is responsible for overseeing the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) Program for NIST. M&O has been conducting extensive outreach and training to our NIST customers regarding PRA and Office of Management & Budget (OMB) requirements as well as the approval process. M&O's broad outreach efforts include discussions with NIST staff at all levels of the Agency in the use of information collections for their specific needs and guidance on how to proceed. NIST is seeking approval to increase the annual respondents from 22,000 to 40,000 and annual burden hours from 10,000 to 20,000 under this renewal request. These increases of 18,000 additional respondents and 10,000 additional hours are requested to cover current and future information collections under this request for a three (3) year renewal and will ensure that NIST remains compliant with the PRA.
