SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract

    The development of a standardized RPPR was an initiative of the 
Research Business Models (RBM) Subcommittee of the Committee on Science 
(CoS), a Committee of the National Science and Technology Council 
(NSTC). It was also

[[Page 4189]]

part of the implementation of the Federal Financial Assistance 
Management Improvement Act of 1999 (Pub. L. 106-107). Consistent with 
the purposes of that Act, the objective of this initiative was to 
establish a uniform format for reporting performance on Federally-
funded research projects. NOAA has not previously used this form, but 
needs to become in compliance with this Act by using this form for all 
progress reports required for grants awarded by NOAA, starting with the 
reporting cycle ending January 31, 2018.
    The RPPR is intended to address progress for the most recently 
completed period, at the frequency required or designated by the 
sponsoring agency. Information, once reported, does not have to be 
provided again on subsequent reports. The RPPR requests various types 
of information, regarding: accomplishments, products, participants and 
other collaborating organizations, impact, changes/problems, budgetary 
information and outcomes.

II. Method of Collection

    An on line form will be used.

III. Data

    OMB Control Number: 0648-xxxx.
    Form Number(s): None.
    Type of Review: Emergency (request for a new information 
collection). Per the Paperwork Reduction Act regulations, 5 CFR 
1320.13, we are making this request in order to bring NOAA research 
grantee reporting into compliance with mandated federal reporting 
requirements (2 CFR Section 200,328), which NOAA must implement for the 
upcoming reporting cycle on January 30, 2018.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households; Business or other for-
profit organizations; Not-for-profit institutions; State, Local, or 
Tribal government; Federal government.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,200.
    Estimated Time per Response: 15 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 18,000.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost to Public: $0 in recordkeeping/
reporting costs.

IV. Request for Comments

    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the agency, including whether the information shall have practical 
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden 
(including hours and cost) of the proposed collection of information; 
(c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the 
collection of information on respondents, including through the use of 
automated collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology.
    Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized 
and/or included in the request for OMB approval of this information 
collection; they also will become a matter of public record.

    Dated: January 18, 2018.
