This estimate does not include the time needed to complete and submit an application within the SAP Portal or time waiting to receive a decision from an IRB determination after submitting an application. All efforts related to SAP Portal applications occur prior to and separate from BJS’s effort to collect information related to data security requirements. 6. An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated with the collection: The expected number of applications in the SAP Portal that receive a positive determination from BJS in a given year may vary. Overall, per year, BJS estimates it will collect data security information for 55 application submissions that received a positive determination within the SAP Portal. BJS estimates that the total burden for the collection of information for data security requirements over the course of the three-year OMB clearance will be about 495 hours and, as a result, an average annual burden of 165 hours.
