Abstract: The RESTORE Science Program is updating their final report form to streamline some of the reporting sections, provide additional guidance for others, and to align with the program’s suite of performance metrics. The changes are similar to the changes made to the Program’s semi-annual progress report form, approved by OMB earlier this year. The information collected remains generally the same. The format and headings have changed but the report form remains about 2 pages in length. There is no anticipated change in burden estimate. The 2016 form remains in ROCS for comparison.
