Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Cutting Redundancy

Short Statement: The IRS is making this submission for renewal purposes. The IRS TAS evaluated the forms necessary to carry out the LITC grants program. As part of this burden reduction initiative, TAS reduced and consolidated the information being collected. The TAS eliminated two application forms 13424 and the Project abstract by incorporating these into Form 13424-M, and including only the information necessary to evaluate applications. Additionally, TAS eliminated the reporting Forms A, B, C, K, and N and replaced them with a new form 13424-R. The new Form 13424-R reduces the amount information collected as part of the interim and year-end reports. As result of these revisions, the burden has decreased by -6,793 hours. Additionally, the burden is increasing by 145 hours due to better estimates of the number of respondents.
