Short Statement:
This submission includes an increase in the number respondents from 25 to 29 since the last submission. The number of burden hours and responses have increased since last reported. The following are reasons for the change: an increase in the number of applications received than in previous years, hours being added for applicants to gather and input information into SAM.gov, and requirements at award were included that had been left out previously. This has resulted in an increase in the number of responses from 89 to 100, and the number of burden hours from 1,053 to 1,273.
