State and local governments and nonprofit institutions use these applications to apply for excess/surplus, underutilized/unutilized and off-site government real property. These applications are used to determine if institutions/organizations are eligible to purchase, lease or use prop. under the provisions of surplus property program.
The burden has been adjusted to account for the yearly average number of applications submitted by applicants since the last OMB number renewal. The number of the yearly average of applications was adjusted from 15 applications to 10 applications. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Federal Real Property Assistance Program, has no control over the number, type, location, or condition of Federal surplus real property that becomes available for application/acquisition. HHS also has no control over how many applications are submitted by eligible entities. The number of applications submitted is dependent on the need and interest of the properties that become available by eligible entities.
Additionally, the cost burden to applicants increased by $30.00 because the estimated cost to contract for expertise in completing portions of the application increased, again outside of HHSâs control. This holds true for the annualized cost to the Federal government which was adjusted to account for increases in wages.
