Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There is an increase in burden from the previously approved package from 4,571 hours to 8,021. The following changes attributed to that increase: • An increase in obligations from 20 to 25 • An increase of 6 hours to complete the environmental review • An increase of 22 hours to complete scope of work • An increase of 18 hours to complete the revolving fund plan The changes were identified by applicants who indicated that, on average, the completion of the application process took approximately 120 hours versus the Agency's originally estimated 75. These changes resulted in an increase in cost from $219,466. to $385,100. While there was an increase in hours and total cost for applicants there was a decrease in the cost to the government from $2,383,878. to $1,000,006. This decrease is attributed to the reduction in servicing from 75 to 25. The change is based on the actual number of awards made of 25 rather than the estimated 75.
