SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

NIST seeks to assess economic

impacts of its program for near-field

measurements of antennas. The

respondents will be U.S. suppliers and

users of microwave antennas used in

satellites, earth terminals, radar and

communications systems. The results

will be applied by NIST for program

evaluation purposes.

NIST conducts economic impact

studies to (1) provide management with

information on the nature and

magnitude of NIST research projects, (2)

to convey to the policy and budget

processes the rates of return to society

for expenditures by NIST, and (3) to

provide data necessary to comply with

the Government Performance and

Results Act requirements. The resulting

information is used both for evaluation

of completed and ongoing research and

related projects and for strategic

planning.

The range of technology infrastructure

developed in NIST laboratories and

through cooperative projects with

industry leverage the productivity of all

stages of U.S. domestic economic

activity (R&D, production, and

marketing) and thereby increase

economic growth and economic well

being.

II. Method of Collection

Personnel of organizations in the U.S.

microwave industry may respond to

questionnaires by mail, fax, E-mail, or

telephone.

III. Data

OMB Number: None.

Form Number: None.

Type of Review: Regular submission

for a new requirement.

Affected Public: Personnel of

organizations in the U.S. microwave

industry and their customers.

Estimated Number of Respondents:

50.

Estimated Time Per Response: 30

minutes.

Estimated Total Annual Burden

Hours: 25 hours.

Estimated Total Annual Cost: $2,500

(25 hours × $100 per hour for a senior

level technical manager to respond). No

equipment or maintenance costs are

associated with this data collection.

IV. Request for Comments

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether

the proposed collection of information

is necessary for the proper performance

of the function of the agency, including

whether the information shall have

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the

agency’s estimate of the burden

(including hours and cost) of the

proposed collection of information; (c)

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and

clarity of the information to be

collected; and (d) ways to minimize the

burden of the collection of information

on respondents, including through the

use of automated collection techniques

or other forms of information

technology.

Comments submitted in response to

this notice will be summarized and/or

included in the request for OMB

approval of this information collection;

they also will become a matter of public

record.
