Burden Increase Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The total increase of 157 in burden hours from the last renewal resulted from both program changes and from adjustments. The program changes resulted from PSGP adding the GPD-PR form, FEMA Form 088-0-1. This form takes the place of the previously used SF-PPR. The adjustments resulted from the number of respondents changing. Specifically, respondents to FEMA Form 089-5 remained the same, but the number of respondents to the MOU decreased by 47 since the last renewal. FEMA Form 089-5 has changed to incorporate detailed budget information that is required to accurately complete the form. The burden for the detailed budget information was captured in the last renewal. Only the format for presenting that information has changed in this renewal.
