OMB M-23-02 - Need Add'l Guidance for Budget Questions on PQC Spreadsheets

[Robert Monroe, Jr.]

Good Afternoon Team,

  Respectively, I hope you all are well, and making great progress with your Department PQC inventory efforts!

I serve as the Cryptographic Inventory and Migration Lead for the U.S. Department of Education and would greatly appreciate additional guidance needed to help my Department stakeholders gain a better understanding of the following data requests on the PQC spreadsheets.

1. Estimate of FY 2025 Budget Requirements ($K) for Employees, Contractors, and Systems/Investment costs
2. Estimate of Total Budget Requirement, which includes FY 2025 Requirement ($K)  for Employees, Contractors, and Systems/Investment costs
3. Crosscutting Costs

Unfortunately, the provided instructions aligning to each question is inadequate for my stakeholders. Can someone please provide me with additional context intended to help one best understand and answer the question? 

Thank you!

V/R,

-Robert
