Remarks added,
effective 11/19/91: We are approving the use of NIST forms 1262 and
1263 for use with the Advanced Technology Program application for
one year. However, we are not approving any other par of the
Proposal Solicitation. The Proposal Solicitation submitted to OMB
is that for 1991, which has already been used, not for the upcoming
year. NIST must submit the 1992 Proposal Solicitation for separate
review under the current OMB number. Until such clearance is
obtained, no Requests for Proposal ma be issued by NIST for the
ATP. At that time the actual Proposal Solicitation which will be
used for 1992 must be submitted for review, and NIST must use the
Solicitation as approved by OMB. The forms 1262 and 1263 may be
printed without a burden statement since they are used to collect
information with the Proposal Solicitation, and the burden
disclosure statement does not accurately reflect the burden
associated with the forms only. However, the Proposal Solicitation
must include the burden statement when submitted for approval.
