persistent identifiers, and allow 

respondents to provide information on 

Co-Project Director(s) when applicable.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title of Collection: NIFA Reporting 

System (NRS). 

OMB Control Number: 0524–0036. 

Expiration Date of Current Approval: 

10/31/2025. 

Type of Request: Notice of intent to 

extend and revise a currently approved 

information collection. 

Abstract: The ‘‘NIFA Reporting 

System’’ (NRS), provides data 

management and reporting for capacity 

funded research projects and extension 

programs. NRS currently contains the 

Agricultural Research, Extension, and 

Education Reform Act of 1998 

(AREERA) (7 U.S.C. 7601 et seq.) Plans 

of Work, Annual Reports of 

Accomplishments, and other capacity 

grant data for research projects and 

extension programs. The programs are 

authorized pursuant to the authorities 

contained in the McIntire-Stennis 

Cooperative Forestry Act of 1962 (16 

U.S.C. 582a et seq.), the Hatch Act of 

1887 and the Hatch Multistate Research 

Fund (7 U.S.C. 361a and 361c), the 

Agricultural Extension at 1890 LandGrant Institutions (7 U.S.C. 3221), 

Agricultural research at 1890 land-grant 

colleges (7 U.S.C. 3222), Animal Health 

and Disease Research (7 U.S.C. 3195), 

Renewable Resources Extension Act of 

1978 (16 U.S.C. 1674), District of 

Columbia Public Post-secondary 

Education Reorganization Act (DC ST 

Section 38–1202.09), and the SmithLever Act (7 U.S.C. 341). 

NIFA proposes to add a new financial 

module within NRS comprised of two 

separate forms: the Financial Report 

form and the Office of Grants and 

Financial Management (OGFM) 

supplemental information form. 

The Financial Report form will 

capture expenditures for individual 

research projects and extension 

programs and will allow for both 

individual and bulk data entry options. 

This reporting would include NIFA, 

other federal, state, and other funding 

expenditures and Full Time Equivalents 

(FTE) supporting the project/program 

during the fiscal year of reporting. 

The OGFM Supplemental Information 

Form will collect information on 

required target percentages for 

integrated and extension programs 

required to submit this information as 

part of AREERA reporting requirements. 

NIFA plans to prepopulate some of the 

fields in the form so that the response 

will be limited to total expenditures of 

three types (Hatch (Regular and 

Multistate) integrated, Smith-Lever 

multistate, and Smith-Lever extension 

activities), any carryover used, and 

information for a waiver (if applicable). 

NIFA also proposes to modify the 

Project/Program Initiation report to 

include a new optional field for CoProject Directors. 

Finally, NIFA also seeks to modify the 

Project/Program Results report to 

include a new field for digital persistent 

identifiers associated with products 

resulting from capacity funded research 

projects and extension programs. 

Total Estimate of the Burden: The 

estimated annual reporting burden for 

the NRS collection is as follows: 

I. Plan of Work 

The total annual estimated burden for 

this information collection is 4,800 

hours. This includes the time needed for 

participant education; data entry, 

aggregation, and reporting; and 

preparation, review, and submission of 

program plans and budgetary 

information. There are four components 

of the Plan of Work: Executive 

Summary, Merit and Scientific Peer 

Review Processes, Stakeholder Input, 

and Critical Issues. 

Estimate of Burden: 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 75 

per year. 

Estimated Number of Responses per 

Respondent: 1. 

Estimated Burden per Response: 64 

hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 4,800 hours. 

Frequency of Responses: Annually. 

II. Annual Report of Accomplishments 

and Results 

The total annual estimated burden for 

this information collection is 4,800 

hours. This includes the time needed for 

participant education; data entry,

aggregation, and reporting; and 

preparation, review, and submission of 

program plans and budgetary 

information. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 75 

per year. 

Estimated Number of Responses per 

Respondent: 1. 

Estimated Burden per Response: 64 

hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 4,800 hours. 

Frequency of Responses: Annually. 

III. Project/Program Initiation 

The total annual estimated burden for 

this information collection is 9,200 

hours. This includes the time needed for 

participant education; data entry, 

aggregation, and reporting; and 

preparation, review, and submission of 

program plans and budgetary 

information. NIFA proposes to add a 

new optional field for Co-Project 

Director(s) but anticipates that this will 

not increase the amount of time needed 

to complete each response. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

2,000 per year. 

Estimated Number of Responses per 

Respondent: 1. 

Estimated Burden per Response: 4.6 

hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 9,200 hours. 

Frequency of Responses: Annually. 

IV. Project/Program Results 

The total annual estimated burden for 

this information collection is 32,300 

hours. This includes the time needed for 

participant education; data entry, 

aggregation, and reporting; and 

preparation, review, and submission of 

program plans and budgetary 

information. Project/Program Results 

were previously included in ‘‘Annual 

Report of Accomplishments and 

Results’’ above but is being separated to 

include Results for non-AREERA 

capacity funding. NIFA is proposing to 

add fields specifically for reporting 

products resulting from projects and 

programs but anticipates that this will 

not increase the amount of time needed 

to complete each response. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

8,500 per year. 

Estimated Number of Responses per 

Respondent: 1. 

Estimated Burden per Response: 3.8 

hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 32,300 hours. 

Frequency of Responses: Annually. 

V. Financial Report for All Projects and 

Programs 

The total annual estimated burden for 

this information collection is 11,900 

hours. This includes the time needed for 

participant education; data entry, 

aggregation, and reporting; and 

preparation, review, and submission of 

program plans and budgetary 

information. NIFA used burden 

estimates from the Financial Report in 

the current REEport collection (OMB 

0524–0048, ‘‘Research, Education, and 

Extension project online reporting tool 

(REEport)’’) to estimate the burden for 

Financial Report in NRS. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

8,500 per year. 

Estimated Number of Responses per 

Respondent: 1. 

Estimated Burden per Response: 1.4 

hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 11,900 hours. 

Frequency of Responses: Annually. 

VI. OGFM Supplemental Form 

The total annual estimated burden for 

this information collection is 102 hours. 

This includes the time needed for 

participant education; data entry, 

aggregation, and reporting; and 

preparation, review, and submission of 

program plans and budgetary 

information. NIFA plans to prepopulate 

some of the fields in the form so that the 

response will be limited to total 

expenditures of three types (Hatch 

(Regular and Multistate) integrated, 

Smith-Lever multistate, and SmithLever extension activities), any 

carryover used, and information for a 

waiver (if applicable). The OGFM 

Supplemental Form will have a 

deadline after the Financial Report, 

which should streamline the 

expenditures data needed. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 51 

per year. 

Estimated Number of Responses per 

Respondent: 1. 

Estimated Burden per Response: 2 

hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 102 hours. 

Frequency of Responses: Annually. 

Comments: Comments are invited on:

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(b) the accuracy of the Agency’s 

estimate of the burden of the proposed 

collection of information including the 

validity of the methodology and 

assumptions used; (c) ways to enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and (d) 

ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

All responses to this notice will be
