The Department of Commerce will submit the following information collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and clearance in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, on or after the date of publication of this notice. We invite the general public and other Federal agencies to comment on proposed and continuing information collections, which helps us assess the impact of our information collection requirements and minimize the public's reporting burden.

The information collected will be used to evaluate applications, assess alignment with program requirements, and support consistent and efficient review processes. Standardized data collection will improve clarity, reduce errors, and streamline administration.
