Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The total burden for this collection decreased by 10,485 hours (from 72,900 hours to 62,415 hours). This decrease reflects a drop in the number of respondents using REEport since NIFA now collects most information about capacity grants in the NIFA Reporting System (NRS). The number of respondents decreased because the previous submission triple-counted respondents.
