SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    Based on user feedback provided during the initial release of the 
NASA STEM Gateway (Universal Registration and Data Management System), 
NASA plans to develop updates/enhancements to improve information 
collected and the overall user experience in the NASA STEM Gateway. The 
NASA STEM Gateway (Universal Registration and Data Management System) 
is a comprehensive tool designed to allow learners (i.e., students, 
educators, and awardee principal investigators) 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 
NASA STEM Gateway. Additionally, NASA can also deploy evaluation 
surveys through the NASA STEM Gateway (Universal Registration and Data 
Management System) to collect short- and intermediate-outcome data by 
surveying learners (i.e., students and educators) and awardees in NASA 
STEM engagement activities. Results from evaluation surveys 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 to evaluate the outcomes of NASA's STEM Engagement 
programs and activities. 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: Evaluation Surveys for NASA STEM Gateway.
    OMB Number: 2700-0182.
    Type of review: Renewal of a previously approved information 
collection.
    Affected Public: Individuals. Eligible students or educators, and/
or awardee principal investigators 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 Annual Number of Activities: 10.
    Estimated Number of Respondents per Activity: 2,000.
    Annual Responses: 20,000.
    Estimated Time per Response: 20 minutes.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 6,667.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $214,744.

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.

William Edwards-Bodmer,
NASA PRA Clearance Officer.
