In accordance with 5 CFR 1320, the information collection is approved for three years. For all USDA forms included in this collection but not approved under a 0572 control number, the agency that developed this form must convert it to a common form, and RUS must submit a RCF for their total agency burden for use of this form, including the burden from this collection, all prior to the next renewal. For all 0572 forms included in this collection, not approved under 0572-0157, and used by any other agency other than RUS, RUS must convert this form to a common form prior to the next renewal and advise the other agency to submit their usage under a RCF. For all 0572 forms included in this collection, not approved under 0572-0157, and only used by RUS, RUS must merge the burden for their total agency use of this form into a single ICR under one OMB control number prior to the next renewal.

This collection identifies projects eligible for the TAT/RWTS pilot grant program which will enable the Agency to collect the minimum information necessary to conform to the requirements of the program regulations established by law.
There was an increase in the number of respondents from 3 in the previous collection to 9 respondents for this collection. The increase in the number of respondents also increased the total annual responses of 53 from the previous collection to 149. There was also an unexpected number of applicants than originally anticipated which resulted in an increased number of applications received. The increased number of applications necessitated additional awards, resulting in the increased number of burden hours in this collection from 242 burden hours from the previous collection to 647 burden hours.
