Information provides data that assists in ensuring Federal financial assistance recipients do not discriminate in the administration, management, and operation of programs and activities.
Burden hours have decreased from 350,450 to 135,723 due primarily to reconstructed and updated data to calculate the burden hours from internal review. Responses have also decreased from 56,425,453 to 22,444,363 due primarily to reconstructed and updated data to calculate burden hours from internal review.
This is a revision because there are form changes. Minor changes to the form will not alter the completion time estimates above.
The minor changes include solely: changing the pronouns âhe or sheâ to âtheyâ prior to question 3 on the CIF, deleting âthe Workforce Investment Actâ from the checkboxes in question 5 as an outdated statute, and slightly re-ordering the checkboxes in question 6 to align with the White Houseâs âRecommendations on the Best Practices for the Collection of Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Data on Federal Statistical Surveysâ found at https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/SOGI-Best-Practices.pdf.
