In August 2007, EPA released its first progress report on the Burden Reduction Initiative. In March 2008, EPA released a second progress report in draft form only. The Agency has tried to maintain consistency between this site and the earlier progress reports because the primary audiences for this report - state and EPA personnel working on the Initiative - are familiar with the previous reports. In some instances, however, it was necessary to deviate from them. G19 is one of those instances.

This recommendation was added to this site after never appearing in a previous progress report because the original state submission did not fit under any of the existing recommendations. But, G19 is not yet addressed on this site because EPA has been focusin on the 16 priority areas. Still, it is listed here to ensure that a full list of all states' submissions is provided.

• Maryland - Find ways to establish indirect rates more promptly. The indirect rate is often late being determined which makes us late reporting, because we can't figure our personnel costs accurately without the indirect rate. Read Maryland's original submission (PDF) (3 pp, 29K).
