Burden Increase Due to:

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: The decrease in burden is due to agency discretion. The previously-approved information collection allowed the use of both an application and an annual reporting instrument. Agencies now seek approval for a revised annual performance report instrument and the discontinuance of the application instrument. As of the date of this revision request, all grantees have been selected, making the application instrument no longer necessary for the information collection. The number of respondents have now been adjusted to reflect the 36 grantees that are required to submit the annual report instrument. The report has also been updated to clarify the requested information and to require program metrics.
