Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The Estimated Average Burden Hours per Response has been reduced from 8.50 to 6.58 as a result of data on the frequency of subrecipients reporting in lieu of prime recipients on subrecipient information. This also resulted in a relative increase in the number of Estimated Number of Respondents, although the overall Estimated Number of Respondents has decreased consistent with historical trends. Estimates of average burden 4 hours per response also incorporate the fact that a copy-forward feature applied to FederalReporting.gov eliminates the need to re-enter most of the Section 1512 data each quarter.
