Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Commerce has submitted 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: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
    Title: NOAA Community-based Restoration Program Progress Reports.
    Form Number(s): None.
    OMB Approval Number: None.
    Type of Request: Regular submission.
    Burden Hours: 1,125.
    Number of Respondents: 150.
    Average Hours Per Response: 15 hours.
    Needs and Uses: The NOAA Community-based Restoration Program (CRP)

Each fiscal year, NOAA publishes in the Federal Register two notices of 
availability of financial assistance inviting applications from persons 
who are interested in obtaining grants to carry out community-based 
habitat restoration activities through individual projects or 
restoration partnerships. It is critical to track the status and 
success of funded projects to provide accountability for the CRP and 
NOAA on the expenditure of federal restoration funds as well as to 
respond quickly to inquiries from NOAA management, congressional 
members, and constituents. Successful applicants are now required to 
submit periodic performance reports and a final report for each award. 
NOAA proposes to require that specific information be provided in these 
reports.
    Affected Public: Not-for-profit institutions; business or other 
for-profit organizations; and State, Local, or Tribal Government.
    Frequency: On occasion, semi-annually.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain a benefit.
    OMB Desk Officer: David Rostker, (202) 395-3897.
