SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Summary of Information Collection

    Cooperative agreements are awarded on a competitive basis. Past 
performance is a major evaluation factor for selecting programs to be 
funded each fiscal year. Past performance data is obtained from the 
performance report. The data is used to measure recipient 
accomplishments against goals and objectives set forth in the 
application, for which an award was made. The reported data also 
provides budget information (total amount expended, total DoD fund 
expended) used to monitor the expenditure of DoD funds and to assure 
that the DoD/recipient share ratio established at award is maintained
    Additionally, the information is used to identify programs that are 
experiencing difficulty to establish the need for assistance and the 
frequency of on-site reviews.
