Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: This request also seeks a reduction in burden hours. The requested reduction does not change any current reporting requirements for respondents, but removes an obsolete requirement for 64 annual hours for “semi-annual reporting”. This reduction in burden hours and removal of the requirement provide a more accurate reflection of required reporting. The 2012 approved collection included burden hours for Semi-Annual Reporting by one respondent, totaling 64 hours annually. However, this requirement has not been used, and FHIP does not anticipate future use since all respondents follow uniform reporting requirements (quarterly and final reports) for program efficiency. The FHIP therefore requests to delete the requirement for semi-annual reporting and the burden hours associated as follows: 46,420 (current burden hours) – 64 (semi-annual report hours) = 46,356.
