Approved as revised and sent to OMB on 1/17/03. This form is approved for government-wide use. Any grant-making agency that intends to use the survey form must either 1) submit a change worksheet (83-C) to revise the OMB approval of their grant application package to include the survey form and account for the additional burden imposed by the form; or 2) obtain its own OMB number for the survey by submitting an agency-specific information collection request under the PRA.
