function of the Agency as a whole. The information collected will be
used by program staff to track the recipients of E&I, SERC, and
Community Scale activities, their progress in achieving scheduled
milestones, and funds expended (including expenditure rates). The
information also enables program staff to provide required or requested
information on program activities to OMB, Congress and the public.
