Needs and Uses: The information

collection is necessary to obtain and

record the qualification and budget

information of universities submitting

proposal for National Security

Education Program funding.

Respondents are representatives of U.S.

colleges and universities who choose to

submit a proposal in competition for a

National Security Education Program

(NSEP) Institutional Grant. The NSEP

was established by the National Security

Education Act of 1991. DD Form 2729,

‘‘National Security Education Program

Proposal Budget Estimate Worksheet,’’

is a single-page document in which the

applicant indicates the cost associated

with the proposal by four major

categories. Without this form there

would be no precise, standard manner

for applicant to portray their budget

requests. Further, there would be no

consistent measure by which the meritreview panelists could judge these

proposals. DD Form 2730, ‘‘National

Security Education Program Proposal

Cover Sheet,’’ is a concise vehicle for

transmitting proposals. This form

eliminates the need for lengthy,

nonstandard letters of transmittal.
