Terms of Clearance: We are revising our previous terms of clearance in response to FMCS recent submission. Specifically, the agency may require the submissio of form LM-7 and LM-8 quarterly. Although FMCS's justification of the need for quarterly reporting for 12 month grants is persuasive, it is not clear that quarterly reporting for longer a grants is not unnecessarily burdensome. Therefore, in the next submission, the agen shall examine whether it is feasible to require either 1) quarterly reporting for the first year of each grant and semiannual reporting thereafter, or 2) quarterly reporting for grants of 12 months or less and semiannual reporting for grants of more than 12 months. In addition, the agency shall add the burden disclosure statement required by 5 CFR 1320.21 (b), when the forms are next reprinted.
