meetings. While industry will receive

the questions early, the data will

generally be developed with a Review

Team member. Government program

managers and agents will be consulted

for data prior to interviewing industrial

participants in order to further reduce

the latter’s time expenditure. For

example, DARPA personnel in the

JDUPO have been consulted as to the

availability of material. Their files have

been used to minimize further

collection. In addition, Service,

Department of Transportation (DOT),

Department of Energy (DOE), National

Science Foundation (NSF), and other

agencies involved have been contacted

and consulted. Further, this review will

be conducted only once (as opposed to

yearly) although a follow-up will be

made on each unfinished project in

order to update the data.

There is no need for respondents to

make any capital expenditures to

support this effort. The average time

required of the respondents is estimated

at two hours. (Since most of the

questions have already been addressed

as part of normal business practices,

little preparation is usually needed).
