Short Statement: HRSA will move the BHW Program Specific Data Form to another ICR that reports data outcomes post grant award. As for average burden per response for the SDS Program Specific Form, SDS program staff conducted burden testing performed by eight grantees regarding the format, content of data to be collected, and time to complete the application and report. The SDS Program Specific Form was reduced from sixteen sections to seven sections. The program staff calculated the time for completion of the revised form at 14 hours based upon program experience and past grant recipient comments. This is a reduction from 31 hours in the prior ICR.
