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

Burden Reduction Due to: Changing Forms

Short Statement: The annual burden hours have decreased from 2,091 to 1,845 for the FEMA Form 089-4 as the background section has been made into a separate form (Investment Justification Background Document). In addition, two new forms are being added to the collection - the Five-Year Security Capital and Operational Sustainment Plan (FEMA Form 089-4B) with 615 hours and the Investment Justification Background Document (FEMA Form 089-4A) with 369 hours. Therefore, the total burden hours of all three forms are 2,829 hours. The average burden per response (in hours) for FEMA Form 089-4 has decreased due to standard information taken out of the form and put into a separate document, the Investment Justification Background. This information in the Investment Justification Background document will only need to be completed once per application.
