Question 5. If you selected "Other" for methods of completion, please elaborate further.

1. .xml or other extensible or database compatible format 2. SSP, SAR, SAP all should be web-based but must be able to be exported and imported to allow for working off-line. 3. Web portal or web based form that walks you through completion process and where you can save the data as you complete it online. Also provides completion percentage.
