GLIN==> Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) Accountability System

The Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) Accountability System is
an internet-based system designed to track GLRI projects in order to
assess the GLRI’s effectiveness.  Entities receiving GLRI funds will be
required to enter basic data about their projects such as location,
funding, measures, and relationship to the GLRI Action Plan.  Because
information is being requested from more than 10 non-Federal agencies,
the Paperwork Reduction Act requires that an Information Collection
Request must be submitted to the Office of Management and Budget for
approval.  The purpose of this video on "how to enter project data into
the prototype accountability system" is to give future users an idea of
what the GLRI Accountability System will look like.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published a notice in the

collection requirements for the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative
(GLRI). Comments must be submitted to EPA on or before March 8, 2010.
This public notice and comment period are part of an important federal
requirement under the Paperwork Reduction Act designed to lessen the
burden of reporting while also maintaining needed accountability and
transparency for GLRI efforts.
