DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
The Department of Commerce will submit to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) for clearance the following proposal for collection of
information under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44
U.S.C. chapter 35).
Agency: Office of the Chief Information Officer, Office of the
Secretary, Commerce.
Title: The Research Performance Progress Report.
OMB Control Number: 0690-0032.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 2,550.
Estimated Time per Response: 5 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 12,750.
Needs and Uses: The development of the Research Performance
Progress Report (RPPR) resulted from an initiative of the Research
Business Models (RBM), an Interagency Working Group of the Social,
Behavioral & Economic Research, Subcommittee of the Committee on
Science (CoS), a committee of the National Science and Technology
Council (NSTC). One of the RBM Subcommittee's priority areas was to
create greater consistency in the administration of Federal research
awards. Given the increasing complexity of interdisciplinary and
interagency research, it is important for Federal agencies to manage
awards in a similar fashion. The RPPR is an OMB approved uniform format
to be used by Federal agencies in submission of progress reports that
support research and research-related activities. It is intended to
replace other performance reporting formats currently in use by Federal
agencies. However, the RPPR does not change the performance reporting
requirements specified in 2 CFR 200.
Affected Public: Individuals or households; Business or other for-
profit organizations; Not-for-profit institutions; State, Local, or
Tribal government; Federal government.
Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory.
Legal Authority: The Federal Financial Assistance Management
Improvement Act of 1999 (Pub. L. 106-107), and 2 CFR 200.328.
This information collection request may be viewed at
www.reginfo.gov. Follow the instructions to view Department of Commerce
collections currently under review by OMB.
Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information
collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice
to [email protected] or fax to (202) 395-5806.
