Annualized burden estimates increased due to the incorporation of Standard Forms (8,622 burden hours), optional administrative form to report performance (17,172 burden hours), and new information collections and reporting related to USDA Office of Inspector General Audit (1,350 burden hours). At the same time, total estimate decreased by 13,853 due to better accounting of the average number of awards and agreements executed on a yearly basis and the average number of responses per partner in a given year. Forest Service is requesting a total of 49,751 burden hours which is an increase from the previous OMB approved 39,352 burden hours. This revised estimate reflects the total annual burden on the public to develop grant and agreement proposals, scope of works, budgets and budget justifications, and administrative activities related to requesting, accepting, and spending Federal dollars under the associated statute and regulatory requirements.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
