4. OMB draws on principles of open 

government to invite public suggestions 

about improvements in existing 

regulations, with particular reference to 

economic growth. 

These recommendations build on 

those of the 2009 Report, in which OMB 

emphasized the importance of open 

government and in particular of 

obtaining access to ‘‘dispersed 

knowledge’’ about how to improve 

regulation. To promote such 

engagement, OMB requests suggestions 

about regulatory changes that might 

serve to promote economic growth, with 

particular reference to increasing 

employment, innovation, and 

competitiveness. OMB is especially 

interested in identifying both new 

initiatives and current regulations that 

might be modified, expanded, or 

repealed in order to promote those 

goals. Consistent with Executive Order 

12866, OMB welcomes suggestions for 

regulatory reforms that have significant 

net benefits, that might increase net 

exports, and that might promote growth, 

innovation, and competitiveness for 

small business, perhaps through 

increasing flexibility. OMB requests that 

nominations be submitted electronically 

to OMB within 60 days from the date of 

notice publication in the Federal 

Register through http:// 

www.regulations.gov. 

DATES: To ensure consideration of 

comments as OMB prepares this Draft 

Report for submission to Congress, 

comments must be in writing and 

received by 60 days after publication.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Congress 

directed the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) to prepare an annual 

Report to Congress on the Costs and 

Benefits of Federal Regulations. 

Specifically, Section 624 of the FY 2001 

Treasury and General Government 

Appropriations Act, also known as the 

‘‘Regulatory Right-to-Know Act,’’ (the 

Act) requires OMB to submit a report on 

the costs and benefits of Federal 

regulations together with 

recommendation for reform. The Act 

states that the report should contain 

estimates of the costs and benefits of 

regulations in the aggregate, by agency 

and agency program, and by major rule, 

as well as an analysis of impacts of 

Federal regulation on State, local, and 

Tribal governments, small businesses, 

wages, and economic growth. The Act 

also states that the report should be 

subject to notice and comment and peer 

review.

NATIONAL FOUNDATION FOR THE

Notice of Continuance for General 

Clearance for Guidelines, Applications, 

and Reporting Forms 

AGENCY: Institute of Museum and 

Library Services. 

ACTION: Notice of requests for 

information collection, comment 

request. 

SUMMARY: The Institute of Museum and 

Library Service (IMLS) as part of its 

continuing effort to reduce paperwork 

and respondent burden, conducts a preclearance 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 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). 

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. The Institute of 

Museum and Library Services is 

currently soliciting comments on IMLS 

program guidelines and reporting 

requirements. 

A copy of the proposed information 

collection request can be obtained by 

contacting the individual listed below 

in the ADDRESSES section of this notice. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

submitted to the office listed in the 

ADDRESSES section below on or before 

June 26, 2010. 

The IMLS 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 appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submission of 

responses.

comments were received. NSF is 

forwarding the proposed renewal 

submission to the Office of Management

may be found at: http:// 

www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain.

addressed to: Office of Information and 

Regulatory Affairs of OMB, Attention: 

Desk Officer for National Science 

Foundation, 725 17th Street, NW., Room 

10235, Washington, DC 20503, and to 

Suzanne H. Plimpton, Reports Clearance 

Officer, National Science Foundation, 

4201 Wilson Boulevard, Suite 295, 

Arlington, Virginia 22230 or send e-mail 

to splimpto@nsf.gov. Comments 

regarding these information collections 

are best assured of having their full 

effect if received within 30 days of this 

notification. Copies of the submission(s) 

may be obtained by calling 703–292– 

7556. 

NSF may not conduct or sponsor a 

collection of information unless the 

collection of information displays a 

currently valid OMB control number 

and the agency informs potential 

persons who are to respond to the 

collection of information that such 

persons are not required to respond to 

the collection of information unless it 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title of Collection: International Cover 

Page Addendum. 

OMB Control No.: 3145–0205. 

Abstract 

The Office of International Science 

and Engineering within the Office of the 

NSF Director will use the International 

Cover Page Addendum. Principal 

Investigators submitting proposals to 

this Office will be asked to complete an 

electronic version of the International 

Cover Page Addendum. The Addendum 

requests foreign counterpart 

investigator/host information and 

participant demographics not requested 

elsewhere in NSF proposal documents. 

The information gathered with the 

International Cover Page Addendum 

serves four purposes. The first is to 

enable proposal assignment to the 

program officer responsible for activity 

with the primary countries involved. No 

current component of a standard NSF 

proposal requests this information. (The 

international cooperative activities box 

on the standard NSF Cover Page applies 

only to one specific type of activity, not 

the wide range of activities supported 

by OISE.) NSF proposal assignment 

applications are program element-based 

and therefore cannot be used to 

determine assignment by country. The 

second use of the information is 

program management. OISE is 

committed to investing in activities in 

all regions of the world. With data from 

this form, the Office can determine 

submissions by geographic region. 

Thirdly, funding decisions cannot be 

made without details for the 

international partner not included in 

any other part of the submission 

process. The fourth section, counts of 

scientists and students to be supported 

by the project, are also not available 

elsewhere in the proposal since OISE 

budgets do not include participant 

support costs. These factors are all 

important for OISE program 

management. 

Estimated Number of Annual 

Respondents: 600. 

Burden on the Public: 150 hours (15 

minutes per respondent). 

Dated: April 26, 2010.

Reports Clearance Officer, National Science 

Foundation.
