Summary of Information Collection

    Each cooperative agreement award recipient submitted goals and 
objectives in their application that were subsequently incorporated 
into their cooperative agreement awards. The level of achievement of 
these goals and the funds expended in the process of conducting the 
program is measured by the report. The government's continued funding 
of a cooperative agreement and the decision to exercise an option award 
for a cooperative agreement award is based to a significant degree on 
the award holder's current performance as measured by the report.
    Information from the report is also used to identify programs that 
may be in need of assistance and/or increased surveillance.
