The new digital closeout forms include AMCC/ADCC that have been automated in the Document Management Center, which was previously a paper-based process, to reduce the hours of the collection by 20. 3. Users can now enter utility conservation measures within the Five-Year Action Plan Work Activity Module for more efficient data entry that reduced the burden of the collections by approximately 60 hours.
