Requirements; Revision
SUMMARY:
In compliance with the
requirement of Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of
the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of
1995, the Office of the Director (OD),
Office of Extramural Research (OER),
the National Institutes of Health (NIH)
has submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) a
request for review and approval of the
information collection listed below.
This proposed information collection
was previously published in the Federal
Register on March 5, 2012, Volume 77,
No. 43, page 13132–13133, and allowed
60 days for public comment. One public
comment was received, which asked for
clarification about new reporting
burdens. It was noted in follow-up that
NIH has seen a 21-percent increase in
competing applications since the last
clearance which has resulted in an
increase in the burden hours. We are
also transitioning to the Research
Performance Progress Report as
mandated by OMB.
The purpose of this notice is to allow

Reporting Requirements Including
New Research Performance Progress
Report Collection; Revision
Summary: Under the provisions of
Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the National
Institutes of Health (NIH) has submitted
to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) a request for review and
approval of the information collection
listed below. This proposed information
collection was previously published in
the Federal Register on March 5, 2012,
page 13131 (corrected on March 26,
2012, page 17488), and allowed 60 days
for public comment. One public
comment was received, which asked for
clarification about new reporting
burdens. It was noted in follow-up that
NIH has seen a 21-percent increase in

Proposed Collection: Title: Public
Health Service (PHS) Post-award
Reporting Requirements. Type of
Information Collection Request:
Revision, OMB 0925–0002, Expiration
Date 06/30/2012. This collection
represents a consolidation of post-award
reporting requirements under the
Paperwork Reduction Act and includes
the new Research Performance Progress
Report (RPPR). It also includes
continued use of the PHS Non-

competing Continuation Progress Report
(PHS 2590, currently approved under
0925–0001, expiration 06/30/2012), and
the NIH AHRQ Ruth L. Kirschstein
National Research Service Award
(NRSA) Individual Fellowship Progress
Report for Continuation Support (PHS
416–9). Only one interim progress
report (RPPR or PHS2590/416–9) will be
utilized for any given award until the
RPPR is fully implemented for all
awards. This collection also includes
other PHS post-award reporting
requirements: PHS 416–7 NRSA
Termination Notice and PHS 6031–1
NRSA Annual Payback Activities
Certification. Post-award reporting
requirements previously cleared under
OMB 0925–0001 now included under
0925–0002 are: PHS 2271 Statement of
Appointment, HHS 568 Final Invention
Statement and Certification, Final
Progress Report instructions, iEdison,
and PHS 3734 Statement Relinquishing
Interests and Rights in a PHS Research
Grant. Pre-award reporting requirements
are simultaneously consolidated under
0925–0001.
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, the continued use of the
PHS Non-competing Continuation
Progress Report (PHS 2590), and the use
of the NIH AHRQ Ruth L. Kirschstein
National Research Service Award
(NRSA) Individual Fellowship Progress
Report for Continuation Support (PHS
416–9). Only one interim progress
report (RPPR or PHS2590/416–9) will be
utilized for any given award. The PHS
416–7, 2271, and 6031–1 are used by
NRSA recipients to activate, terminate,
and provide for payback of an 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.
Frequency of response: Grantees are
required to report annually. Affected
Public: Universities and other research
