Explanation

The Refugee Microenterprise Development Program
     Currently, there are twenty two grantees (respondents) in 
the program and the semi-annual progress, which includes the data and 
information required, is submitted twice per year.
     The request covers one form (Form I. attached) which 
includes eight data points. Based on experience (the information was 
provided by technical assistance service provider in the past), it 
takes about two hours per respondent per six months (i.e., four hours 
per year per grantee (respondent) or 88 hours per year for all 
respondents) to complete the form.
     No survey will be undertaken since the collection of this 
data (information) is part of the implementation process of the project 
and its collection and reporting does not constitute a separate and 
additional cost to the grantees (respondents). The cost is covered by 
the grant the grantee receives. The grantees have Down Home database 
which captures and stores the data required for reporting. The grantee 
uploads the semi-annual report in Grant Solution where it is stored. 
ORR derives the data it requires for reporting and management decision 
from Grant Solution.
The Refugee Home-Based Child Care Microenterprise Development Group
     Currently, there are twenty three grantees (respondents) 
in the program and the semi-annual progress.
     The request covers one form (Form II. attached) which 
includes seven data points. It takes about two hours per respondent per 
six months (i.e., four hours per year grantee (respondent) or 92 hours 
per year for all respondents) to complete the form.
     The collection of this data (information) is part of the 
process and its collection and reporting does not include separate and 
additional cost to the grantees (respondents). The cost is covered by 
the grant the grantee receives. The grantees have database which 
captures and stores the data required for reporting. The grantee 
uploads the data required in Grant Solution where it is stored. ORR 
derives the data it requires for reporting and management decision from 
Grant Solution.
