There is an adjustment increase
in the number of respondents, responses and burden hours. The
number of application increased from 100 to 200. The adjustment
increase is due to the estimate for application was made prior to
the inaugural application cycle when there was no base to project
the number of application. There is a program change increase in
the number of respondents, responses, and burdens of 60 hours due
to adding the Service Verification form for award recipients. We
also added the Service Verification form now that award recipients
exist for this program.
