USTDA and contractors will collect
information from various stakeholders on USTDA-funded activities
regarding developmental impact and/or commercial objectives as well
as evaluate success regarding GPRA and OMB PART
objectives.
The increase and decrease in
burden is a result of both (i) the expiration of the prior
Information Collection (form No. 1000E-2005A) and (ii) a more
precise assessment of burden as a result of monitoring the
information collection activities during the prior IC. The burden
estimates on the previously approved collection of information were
estimates for a new IC. As a result of monitoring the information
collection activities over the three year period, the agency is
able to provide more precise burden estimates.
