JUSTIFICATION FOR NON-SUBSTANTIVE CHANGES

1. Justification for Requested Changes

Office of Inspector General paragraph: Per a request from DFC’s Office of Inspector General, DFC is adding an explanatory paragraph regarding the role of the Inspector General to the front page of every official DFC form.

Replace DUNS Number Question with SAM.gov Question: In April 2022, the Unique Entity ID (UEI) required for entities that do business with the U.S. government is changing from being a number issued by Dun & Bradstreet (the “DUNS (UEI)”) to a number issued by the System for Award Management (the “SAM (UEI)”). Therefore, DFC needs to inquire whether applicants have registered at SAM.gov rather than whether they have obtained a DUNS Number.

Require Zip Code + 4 Format for Applicant Addresses Located in the United States: DFC already requires that applicants provide a Postal Code/Zip Code as part of the address that they enter in the form. To comply with DATA Act requirements, DFC needs to program the Postal Code/Zip Code field so that addresses located in the United States will require the Zip Code + 4 format.

2. There is no change to the estimated burden associated with these changes.

3. There is no change to the estimated annualized cost to the Federal government associated with these changes.
