Quarterly and Annual Performance Progress Reports.

    Need and Uses: NTIA collects performance progress information 
specific to Infrastructure and Comprehensive Community Infrastructure, 
Public Computer Center, and Sustainable Broadband Adoption BTOP grant 
recipients in order to effectively monitor, manage and evaluate 
individual projects and the overall success of the program in achieving 
statutory goals and objectives. Quarterly performance progress reports 
ask a series of questions that broadly address project progress and 
monitoring needs of program personnel by obtaining actual information 
on quarterly and cumulative project and milestone progress, and 
potential project barriers, if any. Annual performance progress reports 
ask a series of questions that broadly address BTOP programmatic 
objectives and outcomes, program compliance requirements, and the 
information needs of external audiences, such as OMB.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit organizations; not-
for-profit institutions; and State, local, or Tribal government 
organizations.
    Frequency: Quarterly and annually.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to retain benefits.
    OMB Desk Officer: Nicholas Fraser, (202) 395-5887.
