There is an increase of 1,382 burden hours from the paperwork burden package submitted in December 2003. The additional hours are projected after evaluation of the number of recipients who may be required to collect and maintain data on race, sex, and national origin of beneficiaries served by recipients. The annualized cost to the federal government reflects updated salary cost and a shifting of responsibility for program delivery to the Rural Development state office.
