NOTICE
All NOAA RESTORE Act Science Program recipients with approved cooperative agreements are
required to file a Progress Report in the specified format every six months. Consistency in reporting
requirements for competitive research programs is desirable and this is behind the Science Program’s
efforts in proposing a standardized format. This annual report format will enable program staff to
monitor each project supported by an award.
Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 300 minutes
per response, including time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and
maintaining the data needed and completing and reviewing the collection of information.
Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspects of this collection of
information, including suggestions for reducing this burden, to the National Ocean Service, RESTORE Act
Science Program Office, 1305 East-West Highway, Rm 8113, ATTN: Frank Parker, Silver Spring, MD
20910. All files associated with awards are subject to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).
Confidentiality will not be maintained – the information will be made available to the public. However,
unpublished research results shall not be published without prior permission from the recipient.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the law, no person is required to respond to, nor shall
any person be subject to a penalty for failure to comply with, a collection of information subject to the
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act, unless that collection of information displays a currently
valid OMB Control Number.
