Short Statement: The number of respondents has increased as ETAP is expected to continue scaling its usage. Usage growth projections are based on the number of FY24 awards using the system, assuming an annual growth factor of 1.5 compared to the prior year. While the method for calculating burden remains unchanged, the burden estimates have been updated using the latest empirical evidence on respondent behavior—such as whether Principal Investigators choose to run competitive applications for their NSF-supported opportunities and the average number of opportunities each unique applicant applies to.
