    Estimated Time Per Respondent: 15 minutes/0.25 hour.

    Abstract: The Consultation Request Form will serve as the public's 
first point-of-contact with a DFC business development (BD) 
representative, replacing the current inefficient email-based system of 
processing inbound queries, and will:
     streamline communications, improving the agency's 
responsiveness and the customer service experience;
     equip BD representatives to more quickly screen 
ineligible/non-viable projects and educate the public on eligibility 
criteria, thereby sourcing more quality leads in less time;
     improve data tracking on cold inquiries and proposals, 
helping to inform market interest, anticipate pipeline gaps, and 
proactively shape BD strategy.
