Proposed Renewal Project

    The EHR Impact Database was established in 1995 to integrate all 
available information pertaining to the NSF's Education and Training 
portfolio. Under a generic survey clearance (OMB 3145-0136) data from 
the NSF administrative database 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 adminsitrative, program 
monitoring and evaluation, and for measuring attainment of NSF's 
program goals, as required by the Government Performance and Results 
Act (GPRA).

Burden on the Public

    The total estimate for this collection is 50,000 annual burden 
hours. This figure is based on the previous 3 years of collecting 
information under this clearance. The average annual reporting burden 
is between 2 and 50 hours per `respondent' who may be an individual or 
a project site representing groups.

    Dated: July 1, 1998.
Mary Lou Higgs,
Acting NSF Reports Clearance Officer.
