Short Statement: This is a revision of a currently approved collection. These adjustments are a result of an increase in overissuance collections and a decrease in IPV activity. The overall current burden inventory for this collection is 166,347 and this revision seeks to request 207,834. This revision burden estimates reflects a total increase of 41,488 burden hours reported in this information collection. The IPV- related State agency and household annual reporting and recordkeeping burden has decreased slightly from 21,486 hours to 19,167 hours to reflect the lower number of disqualifications. eDRS has allowed States to better identify and track recipients disqualified from the Program. As a result of these adjustments, the annual burden associated with the eDRS process reflects a total decrease from 7,733 hours to 6,153 hours per year. This decrease is due to the lower number of intentional Program violations. However, the overall burden inventory has increased since the last revision.
