SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title of
Collection: Research, Education, and
Extension project online reporting tool
(REEport).
OMB Control Number: 0524–0048.
Expiration Date of Current Approval:
8/31/2024.
Type of Request: Request to revise and
extend a currently approved
information collection. The burden
estimate for this collection has been
decreased because the number of
respondents has decreased.
Abstract: The United States
Department of Agriculture (USDA),
NIFA administers several competitive,
peer-reviewed research, education, and
extension programs, under which highpriority awards are made. These
programs are authorized pursuant to the
authorities contained in the National
Agricultural Research, Extension, and
Teaching Policy Act of 1977, as
amended (7 U.S.C. 3101 et seq.); the
Smith-Lever Act (7 U.S.C. 341 et seq.);
and other legislative authorities. NIFA
utilizes the REEport system to collect
both technical and financial data related
to NIFA-funded competitive (noncapacity) projects and allows grantees to
report significant accomplishments and
impacts of their research, extension, and
educational work.
NIFA is proposing to add additional
reporting fields to REEport for two
digital identifiers associated with
publications that result from NIFAfunded projects. This information is
currently collected in free text fields.
This update will allow NIFA to clarify
information requirements, meet public
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:19 Aug 08, 2023
Jkt 259001
access requirements, and increase data
validity. The first digital identifier is the
Digital Object Identifier (DOI) registered
to journal articles by publishers or
content owners. The DOI will allow
NIFA to eliminate the manual entry of
publication data by grantees. The
second digital identifier is a persistent
identifier for data assets supporting
NIFA-funded publications. Persistent
identifiers for data assets may include
DOI or other appropriate persistent
identifiers as defined by an approved
data management plan. NIFA proposes
to collect the Open Researcher and
Contributor ID (ORCID) for all NIFAfunded researchers and authors of
NIFA-funded research products. The
ORCID is a persistent digital identifier,
available to individuals at no cost.
Collecting persistent digital identifiers
will help NIFA improve the robustness
of its publication and other funding
products data and be better positioned
to demonstrate the value of its
investments. The specific persistent
identifier fields required will be
updated in compliance with field and
federal standards and best practices.
The digital persistent identifier fields
will be added to the Progress Report and
Final Report in REEport.
Total Estimate of the Burden: The
estimated annual reporting burden for
the REEport collection is as follows:
I. Project Initiation
The total annual estimated burden for
this information collection is 7,360
hours. This includes the time needed for
participant education; data entry,
aggregation, and reporting; and
preparation, review, and submission of
program plans and budgetary
information. The number of respondents
and responses for this report has
decreased from 3,700 to 1,600 because
NIFA now collects information about
capacity grants in a different reporting
system (the NIFA Reporting System
(NRS)).
Estimated Number of Respondents:
1,600 per year.
Estimated Number of Responses per
Respondent: 1.
Estimated Burden per Response: 4.6
hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 7,360 hours.
Frequency of Responses: Annually.
II. Financial Report
The total annual estimated burden for
this information collection is 9,380
hours. This includes the time needed for
participant education; data entry,
aggregation, and reporting; and
preparation, review, and submission of
program plans and budgetary

information. The number of respondents
and responses for this report has
decreased from 8,700 to 6,700 because
NIFA now collects information about
capacity grants in NRS.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
6,700 per year.
Estimated Number of Responses per
Respondent: 1.
Estimated Burden per Response: 1.4
hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 9,380 hours.
Frequency of Responses: Annually.
III. Progress Report
The total annual estimated burden for
this information collection is 25,460
hours. This includes the time needed for
participant education; data entry,
aggregation, and reporting; and
preparation, review, and submission of
program plans and budgetary
information. NIFA proposes to collect
persistent digital identifiers in this
report but anticipates that this will not
increase the amount of time needed to
complete each response. The number of
respondents and responses for this
report has decreased from 8,700 to 6,700
because NIFA now collects information
about capacity grants in NRS.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
6,700 per year.
Estimated Number of Responses per
Respondent: 1.
Estimated Burden per Response: 3.8
hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 25,460 hours.
Frequency of Responses: Annually.
IV. Final Report
The total annual estimated burden for
this information collection is 6,080
hours. This includes the time needed for
participant education; data entry,
aggregation, and reporting; and
preparation, review, and submission of
program plans and budgetary
information. NIFA proposes to collect

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The Annual Survey of Foreign Direct
Investment in the United States (BE–15)
obtains sample data on the financial
structure and operations of foreignowned U.S. business enterprises. The
data are needed to provide reliable,
useful, and timely measures of foreign
direct investment in the United States to
assess its impact on the U.S. economy.
The sample data are used to derive
universe estimates in nonbenchmark
years from similar data reported in the
BE–12 benchmark survey, which is
conducted every five years. The data
collected include balance sheets;
income statements; property, plant, and
equipment; employment and employee
compensation; merchandise trade; sales
of goods and services; taxes; and
research and development activity for
the U.S. operations. In addition to these
national data, several data items are
collected by state, including
employment and property, plant, and
equipment.
The survey, as proposed, incorporates
the following change that was made to
the 2022 BE–12, Benchmark Survey of
Foreign Direct Investment in the United
States:
(a) The expensed petroleum and
mining expenditures item will be
removed from the BE–15A form. The
item is not a good fit conceptually as a
component of property, plant, and
equipment (capital) expenditures.
II. Method of Collection
BEA contacts potential respondents
by mail in March of each year;
responses covering a reporting
company’s fiscal year ending during the
previous calendar year are due by May
31 (or by June 30 for respondents that
file using BEA’s eFile system). Reports
are required from each U.S. business
enterprise in which a foreign person has
at least 10 percent of the voting stock in
an incorporated business enterprise, or
an equivalent interest in an
unincorporated business enterprise, and
that meets the additional conditions
detailed in the BE–15 forms and
instructions. Entities required to report
will be contacted individually by BEA.
