Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: With the move to organize panel meetings through online gatherings rather than incur the expense of traveling reviewers to OSQR offices procedures have altered somewhat resulting in changes to burden hours as reported in item 12. Some formerly needed forms, as noted, are only rarely needed. Budget decreases due to actions such as sequestration and growth of personnel costs through annual increases at the expense of All Other allocations, the funds available to administer the review remain sufficient. There are no substantial changes reported in items 13 and 14 for this activity. Three new forms were added to the collection but these do not alter this conclusion.
