    NSF developed the RPPR as a service within Research.gov. The 
service provides a common portal for the research community to manage 
and submit annual project reports to the National Science Foundation 
(NSF) and to partner agencies. This service replaced NSF's annual and 
interim project reporting capabilities which resided in the FastLane 
System.

Performance Progress Report (RPPR) may be found at the following 
website: http://www.nsf.gov/bfa/dias/policy/rppr/index.jsp.
    Burden on the Public: The Foundation estimates that an average of 
6.6 hours is expended for each report submitted. An estimated 120,000 
reports are expected during the course of one year for a total of 
30,000 public burden hours annually.
