SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    The NASA STEM Gateway (NASA's universal registration and data 
management system) is a comprehensive tool designed to allow learners 
(i.e., students and educators) to apply to NASA STEM engagement 
opportunities (e.g., internships, fellowships, challenges, educator 
professional development, experiential learning activities, etc.) in a 
single location. NASA personnel manage the selection of applicants and 
implementation of engagement opportunities within the Universal 
Registration and Data Management System. Additionally, NASA can deploy 
an evaluation survey to collect short- and intermediate-outcome data by 
surveying learners (i.e., students) in the NASA Internship Program. 
Results from evaluation survey information collected will be used by 
the NASA Office of STEM Engagement (OSTEM) to establish better defined 
goals, outcomes, and standards for measuring progress and also to 
evaluate the outcomes of NASA's Internship Program. This process of 
improvement will enhance NASA's strategic planning, performance 
planning, and performance reporting efforts as required by the GPRA 
Modernization Act of 2010 and Evidence-Based Policymaking Act of 2018.

II. Methods of Collection

Online/Web-based.

III. Data

    Title: NASA Universal Registration and Data Management System.
    OMB Number:
    Type of review: New Collection.
    Affected Public: Eligible students or educators, who may 
voluntarily complete an evaluation survey as a result of applying to or 
participating in a STEM engagement opportunity (e.g., challenges, 
educator professional development, experiential learning activities, 
etc.).
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 2,100.
    Annual Responses: 2,100.
    Estimated Time per Response: 20 minutes.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 700.

IV. Request for Comments

    Comments are invited on: (1) Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
NASA, including whether the information collected has practical 
utility; (2) the accuracy of NASA's estimate of the burden (including 
hours and cost) of the proposed collection of information; (3) ways to 
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be 
collected; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of 
information on respondents, including automated collection techniques 
or the use of other forms of information technology.
    Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized 
and included in the request for OMB approval of this information 
collection. They will also become a matter of public record.

Lori Parker,
NASA PRA Clearance Officer.
