Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: The increase in applications received is a result of the continual increase in application submissions OJP receives each year. The decrease in burden hours is a result of OJP reevaluating the number of hours to develop a typical OJP application. Previously reported applicant burden hours used the number of hours estimated for an applicant to complete a research or evaluation application, as this type of application would generally be the . the most time consuming. Because these represent a very small percentage of applications OJP receives, OJP recalculated the burden hours to represent the time it takes to complete a typical application OJP estimates this burden to be 20 hours. Previous hours associated with the Budget Detail Worksheet and Budget Narrative (1121-0188) was 4 burden hours. However, with the automation of the Budget Detail Worksheet and Budget Narrative and help and tutorial features included in the file, we have reduced the previous 4 burden hours to 2 burden hours under this collection. In summary, although the burden hours for an applicant have been reduced, the number of applications OJP receives has increased steadily over the years, resulting in the overall number of burden hours increasing.
