| The estimates provided on the previous spreadsheets utilized the following assumptions: | ||
| Total number of applications | 25 | This number is based on the paperwork burden package from FY 2003, which is the only year the program was run at full funding. Even if funding levels are reduced, it is expected that at least this many organizations will apply. |
| Total number of recipients | 3 | This number is based on the funding amount received in FY 2018 because the funding amount is unknown for FY 2019. |
| SF-LLL responses | 3 | This number is based on the expected number of awards over $100,000 and the nature of the recipient organizations. |
| Developing the Notice (RFP) is based only on the time for RBS personnel to develop the document and assist with the clearance process. It does not include the time of the clearance agencies. | ||
| Announcing Awards includes the generation and correction of project information sheets and the press release. |
