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.

Dated: October 25, 2004.
