The information collection reflects a revision to the collection mechanism. Specifically, we are implementing an updated IT system, FARM, that improves our operational efficiency by interfacing with other agency systems. As explained in Question 1, no new information is collected, however we characterize the change as a revision. We have also adjusted our estimates to reflect an increase in submissions. Specifically, our estimated burden for the information collection reflects an overall increase of 1,117.5 hours (from 1650 to 2767.5 hours) and a corresponding increase of 1,490 responses (from 2,200 to 3,690 responses).
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).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
