consult as needed with the Federal 

agency seeking the disposition 

authority. After considering comments, 

we will post on regulations.gov a 

‘‘Consolidated Reply’’ summarizing the 

comments, responding to them, and 

noting any changes we have made to the 

proposed records schedule. We will 

then send the schedule for final 

approval by the Archivist of the United 

States. You may elect at regulations.gov 

to receive updates on the docket, 

including an alert when we post the 

Consolidated Reply, whether or not you 

submit a comment. If you have a 

question, you can submit it as a 

comment, and can also submit any 

concerns or comments you would have 

to a possible response to the question. 

We will address these items in 

consolidated replies along with any 

other comments submitted on that 

schedule. 

We will post schedules on our 

website in the Records Control Schedule 

(RCS) Repository, at https://

www.archives.gov/records-mgmt/rcs, 

after the Archivist approves them. The 

RCS contains all schedules approved 

since 1973. 

Background 

Each year, Federal agencies create 

billions of records. To control this 

accumulation, agency records managers 

prepare schedules proposing retention 

periods for records and submit these 

schedules for NARA’s approval. Once 

approved by NARA, records schedules 

provide mandatory instructions on what 

happens to records when no longer 

needed for current Government 

business. The records schedules 

authorize agencies to preserve records of 

continuing value in the National 

Archives or to destroy, after a specified 

period, records lacking continuing 

administrative, legal, research, or other 

value. Some schedules are 

comprehensive and cover all the records 

of an agency or one of its major 

subdivisions. Most schedules, however, 

cover records of only one office or 

program or a few series of records. Many 

of these update previously approved 

schedules, and some include records 

proposed as permanent. 

Agencies may not destroy Federal 

records without the approval of the 

Archivist of the United States. The 

Archivist grants this approval only after 

thorough consideration of the records’ 

administrative use by the agency of 

origin, the rights of the Government and 

of private people directly affected by the 

Government’s activities, and whether or 

not the records have historical or other 

value. Public review and comment on 

these records schedules is part of the 

Archivist’s consideration process.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Number: 3133–0102. 

Title: Truth in Lending (TILA), 

Regulation Z. 

Abstract: The Truth in Lending Act 

(TILA) was enacted to foster comparison 

credit shopping and informed credit 

decision making by requiring accurate 

disclosure of the costs and terms of 

credit to consumers and to protect 

consumers against inaccurate and unfair 

credit billing practices. TILA has been 

revised numerous times since it took 

effect, notably by passage of the Fair 

Credit Billing Act of 1974, the 

Consumer Leasing Act of 1976, the 

Truth in Lending Simplification and 

Reform Act of 1980, the Fair Credit and 

Charge Card Disclosure Act of 1988, and 

the Home Equity Loan Consumer 

Protection Act of 1988. Historically, 

TILA was implemented by the Board of 

Governors of the Federal Reserve 

System’s (FRB) Regulation Z, 12 CFR 

part 226. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street 

Reform and Consumer Protection Act 

transferred FRB’s rulemaking authority 

for TILA to the Consumer Financial 

Protection Bureau (CFPB). 

Regulation Z contains several 

provisions that impose information 

collection requirements: The 

information collection requirements for 

open-end credit products; the 

information collection requirements for 

closed-end credit; the information 

collection requirements that apply to 

both open- and closed-end mortgage 

credit; the information collection 

requirements for specific residential 

mortgage types-namely, reverse 

mortgages and high cost mortgages with 

rates and fees above specified 

thresholds; the information collection 

requirements for private education 

loans; and information collection 

requirements related to Regulation Z’s 

advertising and record retention rules. 

The collection of information 

pursuant to Part 1026 is triggered by 

specific events and disclosures and 

must be provided to consumers within 

the time periods established under the 

regulation. To ease the compliance cost 

(particularly for small credit unions), 

model forms and clauses are appended 

to the regulation. 

Type of Review: Extension. 

Affected Public: Private Sector: Notfor-profit institutions. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 2,906,986. 

By Melane Conyers-Ausbrooks, Secretary 

of the Board, the National Credit Union 

Administration, on February 2, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title of Collection: 2021 Survey of 

Doctorate Recipients. 

OMB Control Number: 3145–0020. 

Expiration Date of Current Approval: 

August 31, 2022. 

Type of Request: Intent to seek 

approval to extend an information 

collection for three years. 

Abstract: Established within the NSF 

by the America COMPETES 

Reauthorization Act of 2010 § 505, 

codified in the National Science 

Foundation Act of 1950, as amended, 

the National Center for Science and 

Engineering Statistics (NCSES) serves as 

a central Federal clearinghouse for the 

collection, interpretation, analysis, and 

dissemination of objective data on 

science, engineering, technology, and 

research and development for use by 

practitioners, researchers, policymakers, 

and the public. 

NCSES is the primary sponsor of the 

Survey of Doctorate Recipients (SDR); 

the National Institutes of Health (NIH) 

serves as a co-sponsor. The SDR has 

been conducted biennially since 1973 

and is a longitudinal survey. The 2021 

SDR will consist of a sample of 

individuals under 76 years of age who 

have earned a research doctoral degree 

in a science, engineering, or health 

(SEH) field from a U.S. academic 

institution. The purpose of this panel 

survey is to collect data to provide 

national estimates on the doctoral 

science and engineering workforce and 

changes in their employment, 

education, and demographic 

characteristics. NCSES uses these data 

to prepare essential congressionally 

mandated reports (explained below). 

Government agencies and academic 

researchers use SDR data and 

publications to make planning decisions 

regarding science and engineering 

research, training, and employment 

opportunities. Employers also use the 

SDR to understand trends in 

employment sectors, industry types, and 

salary. Students who want to learn 

about the relationship between graduate 

education and careers often obtain 

valuable information from the SDR. Data 

and publications from the SDR are 

available to the public on the NCSES 

website: https://www.nsf.gov/statistics/ 

srvydoctoratework/. 

The SDR will collect data by web 

survey, mail questionnaire, and 

computer-assisted telephone interviews 

beginning in July 2021. The survey will 

be collected in conformance with the 

Confidential Information Protection and 

Statistical Efficiency Act of 2002 and 

the individual’s response to the survey 

is voluntary. NCSES will ensure that all 

information collected will be kept 

strictly confidential and will be used 

only for statistical purposes. 

Use of the Information: NCSES uses 

the information from the SDR to prepare 

two congressionally mandated reports: 

Women, Minorities, and Persons With 

Disabilities in Science and Engineering 

and Science and Engineering Indicators. 

NCSES publishes statistics from the 

SDR in many reports, but primarily in 

the biennial series, Characteristics of 

Scientists and Engineers with U.S. 

Doctorates. As with prior SDR data 

collections, a cross-sectional public 

release file of collected data, designed to 

protect respondent confidentiality, will 

be made available to researchers on the 

NCSES website: https://

ncsesdata.nsf.gov/datadownload/. 

Expected Respondents: The U.S. 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) previously directed that NCSES 

enhance and expand the sample to 

measure employment outcomes by the 

fine field of degree taxonomy used in 

the Survey of Earned Doctorates. NCSES 

initiated this change in the 2015 cycle 

and maintained it in each subsequent 

cycle. For the 2021 SDR, a statistical 

sample of approximately 131,000 

individuals with U.S. earned doctorates 

in science, engineering, or health will be 

contacted. As with prior SDR data 

collection cycles, the sample consists of 

all eligible cases from the previous cycle 

(116,000), as well as a sample of 10,000 

new doctoral graduates. In addition, the 

sample includes 5,000 cases that will be 

part of a non-production bridge panel 

designed to quantify the potential 

impact of question wording 

modifications on key survey estimates. 

For 2021, the new graduate sample 

received their doctorate between July 

2017 and June 2019. Across the full 

sample, approximately 116,760 

individuals will reside in the U.S. and 

14,240 will reside abroad. 

Estimate of Burden: NCSES expects 

the overall 2021 SDR response rate to be 

approximately 70 percent. The amount 

of time to complete the questionnaire 

may vary depending on an individual’s 

circumstances; however, based on 2019 

SDR completion times, NCSES estimates 

an average completion time of 

approximately 21 minutes. NCSES 

estimates that the average annual 

burden for the 2021 survey cycle over 

the course of the three-year OMB 

clearance period will be no more than 

10,699 hours [(131,000 individuals × 

70% response × 21 minutes)/3 years/60 

minutes]. 

Comments: Comments are invited on 

(a) whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of NCSES, 

including whether the information shall 

have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of 

NCSES’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information; (c) 

ways to enhance the quality, use, and 

clarity of the information on 

respondents, including through the use 

of automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology; 

and (d) ways to minimize the burden of 

the collection of information on those 

who are to respond, including through 

the use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology.
