Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: After consultation with three (3) grantees it was determined that the time for the new personnel to process applications accounted for more time than previously estimated. The current estimate is based on actual Housing Counseling Training Program awardee experience with the Training NOFA resulting in adjustments. Error in burden calculation was due to the program being new during the previous submission. Also, the HUD 96010- Logic Model, SF-LLL and HUD 2994a are no longer required forms. These forms do not effect how the counseling program is being administered.
