Short Statement: The burden hours for setting up the NAC as a new system increased from 101,760.00 hours to 149,760.00 hours as a result of the availability of a more accurate estimate after some States implemented the NAC. The training burden hours decreased from 106,000 hours to 52,000 hours, as a result of 27 State agencies having completed implementation of the NAC. The initial implementation of the CMA has decreased by 15 hours from 795 hours to 780 hours. We have increased the hours per response from 15 hours to 30 hours for the CMA establishment, as this is a more time consuming process than the CMA renewal. Although the number of burden hours have increased, the number of respondents has decreased from 53 to 26 because 27 State agencies are expected to complete the one-time activity of initial NAC development and finalizing the initial CMA under the currently approved burden. Ongoing Burden-State Agency There has been no change to the activity of submitting active caseloads to the NAC (13,833 hours). The use of actual data now that some States have fully implemented the NAC has resulted in revisions and increases/decreases to the following burden hours: • NAC Screening of applicants has increased by 802,246.62 hours (Previous 300,718.07 – Current 1,102,964.69). • Verification after positive NAC match has decreased by 19,976.88 hours (Previous 24,490.19 – Current 4,513.31). • NAC Notice of Match Results has decreased by 18,296.79 hours (Previous 20,526.45 – Current 2,256.66). • NAC Combined Notice of Match Results and Notice of Adverse Action has decreased by 18,296.79 hours (Previous 20,526.45 – Current 2,256.66). • Computer Matching Agreement was not included in the previous ICR. This activity is estimated at 1,855 hours. Ongoing Burden-Individuals/Household The use of actual data now that some States have fully implemented the NAC has resulted in revisions and decreases to the following burden hours: • Notice of Match Results following positive NAC match has decreased by 30,449.66 hours (Previous 34,210.75 – Current 3,761.09). • Notice of Match Results and Adverse Action following positive NAC match has decreased by 30,449.66 hours (Previous 34,210.75 – Current 3,761.09).
