Burden Increase Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: Initial burden hour and cost estimates were estimates compiled prior to the commencement of the program. FAS removed 3 collection activities (proposal, negotiation of new award, and the evaluation and baseline assessments) as these requirements no longer apply. This removal of these 3 activities resulted in a significant decrease in burden hours and costs. Burden hour estimates have been revised downwards to reflect data provided by private voluntary organizations currently implementing projects under the program. Total annual responses have decreased from 104 to 42 and annual burden hours decreased from 25,665 to 9,174. The estimated total annual costs for participants also decreased from $1,000,935 to $394,482.
