SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: FY 2007 and FY 2009 Survey of 

Science and Engineering Research 

Facilities. 

Type of Request: Intent to seek 

approval to reinstate an information 

collection for three years. 

Proposed Project: The National 

Science Foundation Survey of Science 

and Engineering Research Facilities is a 

Congressionally mandated (Pub. L. 99–

159), biennial survey that has been 

conducted since 1986. The survey 

collects data on cyber infrastructure and 

on the amount, condition, and costs of 

the physical facilities used to conduct 

science and engineering research. It was 

expected by Congress that this survey 

would provide the data necessary to 

describe the status and needs of science 

and engineering research facilities and 

to formulate appropriate solutions to 

documented needs. During the FY 2003 

and FY 2005 survey cycles, data were 

collected from a population of 

approximately 475 research-performing 

colleges and universities. This survey 

population was supplemented with 

approximately 190 nonprofit biomedical 

research institutions receiving research 

support from the National Institutes of 

Health. Beginning with the FY 2003 

cycle, a new section was added to the 

survey requesting information on the 

computing and networking capacity at 

the surveyed institutions, an 

increasingly important part of the 

infrastructure for science and 

engineering research. Other important 

changes include updating the 

networking and computing section, 

based on technological changes that 

may occur. 

Use of the Information: Analysis of 

the Facilities Survey data will provide 

updated information on the status of 

scientific and engineering research 

facilities and capabilities. The 

information can be used by Federal 

policy makers, planners, and budget 

analysts in making policy decisions, as 

well as by institutional academic 

officials, the scientific/engineering 

establishment, and state agencies and 

legislatures that fund universities. 

Burden on the Public: Based on 

pretests, the time to complete the 

research space section of the survey 

(Part 1) ranged from 10 to 85 hours with 

an average of 40 hours. The time to 

complete the computing and networking 

section of the survey (Part 2) averaged 

60 minutes. Therefore, in total, the time 

per academic institution to complete the 

survey is expected to average 

approximately 41 hours. Assuming a 

94% response rate, this would result in 

an estimated burden of 18,368 hours in 

FY 2007 and a similar burden in FY 

2009. [(.94 response rate × 477 

institutions) × 41 hours = 18,368]. 

Because biomedical research 

organizations generally are not as large, 

diverse or complex as colleges and 

universities, there is substantially less 

variation in the survey completion time. 

On average, completion time per 

biomedical research organization for 

Part 1 of the survey was 4 hours. For 

Part 2 of the survey, average completion 

time per biomedical research 

organization was 1 hour. Therefore, in 

total, the time per biomedical research 

organization to complete the survey is 

expected to average approximately 5 

hours. Assuming a 94% response rate, 

this would result in an estimated 

burden of 895 hours in FY 2007 and a 

similar burden in FY 2009. [(.94 

response rate × institutions)] × 5 hours 

= 895] 

Total burden hours for academic 

institutions and biomedical institutions 

are 19,263.
