Short Statement: The number of borrowers has remained constant over the prior three fiscal years averaging 7 respondents and six awardees.

In addition, some forms were removed due to the information now being collected thru SAM.gov during the initial registration and annual renewals. Burden was added to account for borrowers being required to use SAM.gov. This submission has a total of 146 responses. In the previous submission the total responses were 130. There has been an overall decrease in burden hours, from 666 to 652.
