The survey will collect the following 

data on entities within the Alliances: 

• Partnerships and partnership 

history 

• Frequency of interactions 

• Types of interactions (goal 

alignment, activity coordination, etc.) 

Respondents will be informed in 

advance that they will be receiving 

surveys, and they will be sent URL 

information for completing the surveys 

through email communication. 

Need and Use of the Information: The 

primary purpose of this survey is to 

inform NSF about how organizations 

network and collaborate within the NSF 

INCLUDES initiative to leverage 

expertise and strategies to eliminate 

barriers to access to STEM for 

underrepresented minorities. These data 

will be used in conjunction with 

secondary data by the NSF INCLUDES 

contractor for program evaluation in 

conducting a social network analysis 

(SNA) of Alliance grantees and their 

partners. From the survey and SNA, 

NSF will gain an understanding of how 

participants in the NSF INCLUDES 

initiative have formed a ‘‘network of 

networks’’ to implement programs to 

increase diversity in STEM. Further, the 

data will show the strength and health 

of the network, indicating if and how 

participants increase capacity to address 

the problem by developing partnerships 

with other organizations. Through 

understanding how a networked, 

collaborative approach works to reduce 

the pervasive impact of a lack of 

diversity in STEM, NSF and other 

federal agencies can learn from and 

utilize similar strategies to address 

persistently difficult and complex 

issues. 

Affected Public: The population for 

the survey includes all organizations 

that are NSF INCLUDES Alliance 

grantees. These organizations represent 

a variety of organization types, 

including universities, federal research 

laboratories, PreK–12 schools, and 

nonprofits. The survey requests that one 

individual from each organization 

provide responses that represent the 

networking activities of that 

organization. 

Total Respondents: Approximately 

100 individuals representing the 

universe of participating NSF 

INCLUDES Alliance organizations. 

Frequency: Twice within a time 

period of approximately 5 months. The 

participating organizations will be 

surveyed twice to capture networking 

activity at early and later stages of 

grants. 

Total Responses: 200. 

Average Time per Response: There are 

12 items that a respondent needs to 

answer for each organization in their 

Alliance. It will take approximately 20 

seconds to respond to each of these 12 

items (4 minutes/Alliance organization). 

The total burden is calculated based on 

the time for an Alliance with the 

average number of 30 organizations (30 

× 4 = 120 minutes/per administration). 

Each of the approximately 100 

individuals will take the survey twice 

for a burden of 240 minutes each. 

The survey will take an estimated 120 

minutes for each respondent to 

complete. Surveys will be tailored to 

each of the three Alliances to only 

include the portion of the 

approximately 100 organizations with 

which the respondent organization has 

partnered. Each Alliance is composed of 

an estimated 30 organizations. 

Total Burden Hours (annual 

estimate): 400.

Title of Collection: 2019 National 

Survey of College Graduates. 

OMB Approval Number: 3145–0141. 

Expiration Date of Approval: February 

29, 2020 

Type of Request: Intent to seek 

approval to renew an information 

collection for three years. 

Abstract: The National Survey of 

College Graduates (NSCG) has been 

conducted biennially since the 1970s. 

The 2019 NSCG sample will be selected 

from the 2017 American Community 

Survey (ACS) and the 2017 NSCG. By 

selecting sample from these two 

sources, the 2019 NSCG will provide 

coverage of the college graduate 

population residing in the United 

States. The purpose of the NSCG, a 

longitudinal survey, is to collect data 

that will be used to provide national 

estimates on the science and 

engineering workforce and changes in 

their employment, education, and 

demographic characteristics. 

The National Science Foundation Act 

of 1950, as subsequently amended, 

includes a statutory charge to ‘‘. . . 

provide a central clearinghouse for the 

collection, interpretation, and analysis 

of data on scientific and engineering 

resources, and to provide a source of 

information for policy formulation by 

other agencies of the Federal 

Government.’’ The NSCG is designed to 

comply with these mandates by 

providing information on the supply 

and utilization of the nation’s scientists 

and engineers. 

The U.S. Census Bureau, as the 

agency responsible for the ACS, will 

serve as the NSCG data collection 

contractor for NSF. The survey data 

collection will begin in February 2019 

using web and mail questionnaires.

designated March 11, 2018 as the date by which the 

Commission shall approve, disapprove, or institute 

proceedings to determine whether to approve or 

disapprove, the proposed rule change. 

5See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 82842, 

83 FR 11273 (March 14, 2018). 

Nonrespondents to the web or mail 

questionnaire will be followed up by 

computer-assisted telephone 

interviewing. The individual’s response 

to the survey is voluntary. The survey 

will be conducted in conformance with 

Census Bureau statistical quality 

standards and, as such, the NSCG data 

will be afforded protection under the 

applicable Census Bureau 

confidentiality statutes. 

Use of the Information: The NSF uses 

the information from the NSCG to 

prepare congressionally mandated 

reports such as Women, Minorities and 

Persons with Disabilities in Science and 

Engineering and Science and 

Engineering Indicators. A public release 

file of collected data, designed to protect 

respondent confidentiality, will be 

made available to researchers on the 

internet. 

Expected Respondents: A statistical 

sample of approximately 130,000 

individuals will be contacted in 2019. 

NSF expects the response rate to be 70 

to 80 percent. 

Estimate of Burden: The amount of 

time to complete the questionnaire may 

vary depending on an individual’s 

circumstances; however, on average it 

will take approximately 30 minutes to 

complete the survey. NSF estimates that 

the total annual burden will be no more 

than 52,000 hours (=130,000 individuals 

× 80% response × 30 minutes) during 

the 2019 survey cycle.
