KPNO received 230 proposals from visitors and staff combined, of which 7 were two-hour requests for WIYN. Of these, 19 were long-term proposals; one was granted long-term status. Three proposals granted long-term status in previous semesters were scheduled. The requests for Extragalactic and Galactic time are tabulated separately, with the oversubscription ratio based on the combined total.

(*) The WIYN statistics do not include the two-hour proposals and utilize a reasonable request estimate for synoptic proposals that did not request a specific total allocation.
