Short Statement: The total annual burden is an increase from the previously claimed burden because this form adds certifications for various federal laws in addition to the conflict of interest disclosure form. For this reason all grantees, which is approximately 450 annually, will fill out this form regardless of whether the grantee has a conflict to disclose. The previously claimed burden only estimated that 10 grantees would need to disclose a conflict of interest.
