SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On Wednesday, June 15, 2016, NTIS published 
a notice in the Federal Register (81 FR 39025), requesting proposals 
from interested for-profit, non-profit, or research performing 
organizations to enter into a Joint Venture Partnership with NTIS to 
assist Federal agencies to develop and implement innovative ways to 
collect, connect, access, analyze, or use Federal data and data 
services. An informational session and webinar about the opportunity 
were held on Thursday, July 7, 2016. The session was recorded and is 
posted on the NTIS Web site at www.ntis.gov. Due to the many questions 
received from interested parties and requests for additional time to 
prepare proposals, NTIS is extending the proposal submission period to 
11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on Tuesday, August 9, 2016. Proposers who 
submitted proposals by the August 1, 2016 deadline but who want to use 
the additional preparation time may withdraw the proposal they 
submitted and submit a complete, revised proposal by the August 9, 2016 
deadline.
