Proposed Collection: Title: Public Health Service (PHS) Post-award Reporting Requirements. Type of Information Collection Request: Revision. This collection represents a consolidation of post-award reporting requirements under the PRA, and includes the new Research Performance Progress Report (RPPR). Need and Use of Information Collection: The RPPR will replace existing interim performance reports used by all NIH, Food and Drug Administration, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) grantees. Interim progress reports are required to continue support of a PHS grant for each budget year within a competitive segment. The phased transition to the RPPR requires the maintenance of dual reporting processes for a period of time. Thus this information collection is for the new use of the RPPR, and continued use of the PHS Non-competing Continuation Progress Report (PHS 2590, currently approved under 0925–0001), and the NIH AHRQ Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) Individual Fellowship Progress Report for Continuation Support (PHS 416–9, currently approved under 0925–0002). Only one interim progress report (RPPR or PHS2590/416–9) will be utilized for any given award. This collection also includes other PHS post-award reporting requirements: PHS 416–7 NRSA Termination Notice, PHS 2271 Statement of Appointment, 6031–1 NRSA Annual Payback Activities Certification, (currently approved under 0925–0002, expiration 6/30/2012); and HHS 568 Final Invention Statement and Certification, Final Progress Report instructions, and iEdison, and PHS 3734 Statement Relinquishing Interests and Rights in a PHS Research Grant SUMMARY: E:\FR\FM\05MRN1.SGM 05MRN1 erowe on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES 13132 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 43 / Monday, March 5, 2012 / Notices (currently approved under 0925–0001, expiration 6/30/2012). The PHS 416–7, 2271, and 6031–1 are used by NRSA recipients to activate, terminate, and provide for payback of a NRSA. Closeout of an award requires a Final Invention Statement (HHS 568) and Final Progress Report. iEdison allows grantees and Federal agencies to meet statutory requirements for reporting inventions and patents. The PHS 3734 serves as the official record of grantee relinquishment of a PHS award when an award is transferred from one grantee institution to another. Pre-award reporting requirements are simultaneously consolidated under 0925–0001. Frequency of response: Grantees are required to report annually. Affected Public: Universities and other research institutions; Business or other for-profit; Not-for-profit institutions; Federal Government; and State, Local or Tribal Government. Type of Respondents: University administrators and principal investigators. The annual reporting burden is as follows: Total Estimated Number of Respondents: 112,986. Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 1. Average Burden Hours per Response: 5.6. Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours Requested: 640,677. The annualized cost to respondents is estimated to be $22,423,709. There are no Capital Costs to report. There are no Operating or Maintenance Costs to report. Request for Comments: Written comments and/or suggestions from the public and affected agencies are invited on one or more of the following points: (1) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the function of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology.
