# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

*Title of Collection:*                     EHR Generic Clearance.                

*OMB Approval Number:*                     3145-0136.                

*Abstract:*                     The EHR Generic Clearance was established in 1995 to integrate management, monitoring and evaluation information pertaining to the NSF's Education and Training (E&T) portfolio. Under a generic survey clearance (OMB 3145-0136) data from the NSF administrative databases are incorporated and additional information is obtained through initiative-, divisional-, and program-specific data collections.                

*Use of the Information:*                     This information is required for effective administration, program monitoring and evaluation, and for measuring attainment of NSF's program goals, as required by the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) of 1993 and the President's Management 2003 agenda as represented by the Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) Program Assessment Rating Tool (PART).                

*Burden on the Public:*                     The total estimate for this collection is 39,188 annual burden hours. This figure is based on the previous 3 years of collecting information under this clearance and anticipated collections. The average annual reporting burden is between .5 and 50 hours per ‘respondent' depending on whether a respondent is self-reporting or representing a project and reporting on behalf of groups of individuals.
