Recordkeeping and reporting are
required to ensure proper accounting of Federal funds and property
provided under grants and cooperative agreements with state and
local governments.
The reduction in burden is not
due to any program change. It is due to fewer actions and a more
automated process. The IC sponsor took a very critical look at the
burden buildup when renewing it and found it to be considerably
overstated. Over the past three years, there has been a lot
consolidated support activities resulting in fewer contracts.
Increased use of IDIQ contracts has also contributed to the
decrease in burden hours as most of the reporting is done at the
basic contact level.
