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

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: The number of applications and related documents has decreased, due to a change in the way the CSCOR program competitions are announced. For most programs, the solicitations now name a specific region and the priorities that need to be addressed in that region. Previously, the applicants had more leeway in submitting their own ideas for priorities and regions. NOTE: the net decrease is for this reason. In separating out the program components, apparent increases occurred.
