Comment Request for Information 

Collection for Report ETA 902, Disaster 

Unemployment Assistance Activities 

(OMB Control No. 1205–0051): 

Extension Without Change 

AGENCY: Employment and Training 

Administration, Labor. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as 

part of its continuing effort to reduce 

paperwork and respondent burden, 

conducts a pre-clearance consultation 

program to provide the general public 

and Federal agencies with an 

opportunity to comment on proposed 

and/or continuing collections of 

information in accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(PRA95) [44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)]. This 

program helps to ensure that requested 

data can be provided in the desired 

format, reporting burden (time and 

financial resources) is minimized, 

collection instruments are clearly 

understood, and the impact of collection 

requirements on respondents can be 

properly assessed. Currently, the 

Employment and Training 

Administration (ETA) is soliciting 

comments concerning the proposed 

extension of the ETA 902, Disaster 

Unemployment Assistance Activities 

under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster 

Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, 

for which collection authority expires 

on July 31, 2011. 

A copy of the proposed information 

collection request (ICR) can be obtained 

by contacting the office listed below in 

the addressee section of this notice. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

submitted to the office listed in the 

addressee’s section below on or before 

May 9, 2011. 

ADDRESSES: Submit written comments 

to Miriam Thompson, U.S. Department 

of Labor, Employment and Training 

Administration, Office of Workforce 

Security, 200 Constitution Avenue, 

NW., Frances Perkins Bldg., Room S– 

4231, Washington, DC 20210, telephone 

number (202) 693–3226 (this is not a

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The ETA 902 Report, Disaster 

Unemployment Assistance (DUA) 

Activities, is a monthly report submitted 

by an impacted State(s) when a major 

disaster is declared by the President that 

provides for individual assistance 

(including DUA). The report contains 

data on DUA claims and payment 

activities associated with administering 

the DUA program. The information is 

used by ETA’s Office of Workforce 

Security (OWS) to determine workload 

counts, for example, the number of 

individuals determined eligible or 

ineligible for DUA, the number of 

appeals filed, and the number of 

overpayments issued. The report also 

allows OWS to track States’ 

administrative costs for the DUA 

program(s). 

II. Review Focus 

The Department of Labor is 

particularly interested in comments 

which: 

* Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

* Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

* Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

* Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of electronic collection techniques.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title of Collection: National Science 

Foundation Science Honorary Awards. 

OMB Approval Number: 3145–0035. 

Expiration Date of Approval: June 30, 

2011. 

Type of Request: Intent to seek 

approval to continue an information 

collection for three years. 

Abstract: The National Science 

Foundation (NSF) administers several 

honorary awards, among them the 

President’s National Medal of Science, 

the Alan T. Waterman Award, the NSB 

Vannevar Bush Award, and the NSB 

Public Service Award. 

In 2003, to comply with E-government 

requirements, the nomination processes 

were converted to electronic submission 

through the National Science 

Foundation’s (NSF) FastLane system. 

Individuals can now prepare 

nominations and references through 

http://www.fastlane.nsf.gov/ 

honawards/. First-time users must 

register on the Fastlane Web site using 

the link found in the upper right-hand 

corner above the ‘‘Log In’’ box before 

accessing any of the honorary award 

categories. 

Use of the Information: The 

Foundation has the following honorary 

award programs: 

• President’s National Medal of 

Science. Statutory authority for the 

President’s National Medal of Science is 

contained in 42 U.S.C. 1881 (Pub. L. 86– 

209), which established the award and 

stated that ‘‘(t)he President shall * * * 

award the Medal on the 

recommendations received from the 

National Academy of Sciences or on the 

basis of such other information and 

evidence as * * * appropriate.’’ 

Subsequently, Executive Order 10961 

specified procedures for the Award by 

establishing a National Medal of Science 

Committee which would ‘‘receive 

recommendations made by any other 

nationally representative scientific or 

engineering organization.’’ On the basis 

of these recommendations, the 

Committee was directed to select its 

candidates and to forward its 

recommendations to the President. 

In 1962, to comply with these 

directives, the Committee initiated a 

solicitation form letter to invite these 

nominations. In 1979, the Committee 

initiated a nomination form as an 

attachment to the solicitation letter. A 

slightly modified version of the 

nomination form was used in 1980. 

The Committee established the 

following guidelines for selection of 

candidates: 

1. Principal criterion: the total impact 

of an individual’s work on the current 

state of physical, biological, 

mathematical, engineering or social and 

behavioral sciences. 

2. Achievements of an unusually 

significant nature in relation to the 

potential effects on the development of 

scientific thought. 

3. Unusually distinguished service in 

the general advancement of science and 

engineering, especially when 

accompanied by substantial 

contributions to the content of science. 

Recognition by peers within the 

scientific community. 

4. Contributions to innovation and 

industry. 

5. Influence on education through 

publications, teaching activities, 

outreach, mentoring, etc. 

6. Must be a U.S. citizen or permanent 

resident who has applied for 

citizenship. 

In 2003, the Committee changed the 

active period of eligibility to three years, 

including the year of nomination. After 

that time, candidates must be 

renominated with a new nomination 

package for them to be considered by 

the Committee. 

Narratives are now restricted to two 

pages of text, as stipulated in the 

guidelines at http:// 

www.fastlane.nsf.gov/honawards/nms. 

• Alan T. Waterman Award. Congress 

established the Alan T. Waterman 

Award in August 1975 (42 U.S.C. 1881a 

(Pub. L. 94–86) and authorized NSF to 

‘‘establish the Alan T. Waterman Award 

for research or advanced study in any of 

the sciences or engineering’’ to mark the 

25th anniversary of the National Science 

Foundation and to honor its first 

Director. The annual award recognizes 

an outstanding young researcher in any 

field of science or engineering 

supported by NSF. In addition to a 

medal, the awardee receives a grant of 

$500,000 over a three-year period for 

scientific research or advanced study in 

the mathematical, physical, medical, 

biological, engineering, social, or other 

sciences at the institution of the 

recipient’s choice.
