SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

In accordance with the Executive 

Order 12862, the National Institute of 

Standards and Technology (NIST), a 

non-regulatory agency of the 

Department of Commerce, proposes to 

conduct a number of data collection 

efforts—both quantitative and 

qualitative. The data collections will be 

designed to determine requirements and 

evaluate the usability and utility of 

NIST research for measurement and 

standardization work. These data 

collections efforts may include, but may 

not be limited to electronic 

methodologies, empirical studies, video 

and audio collections, interviews, and 

questionnaires. For example, data 

collection efforts may include the 

cryptography software survey and the 

password generation study. NIST will 

limit its inquiries to data collections 

that solicit strictly voluntary opinions or 

responses. NIST will not conduct 

individual data collections under this 

generic clearance that are mandatory, 

required, or regulated. The data 

collected will be used to guide NIST 

research. NIST will take steps to ensure 

anonymity of respondents in each 

activity covered under this request. 

II. Method of Collection 

NIST will collect this information by 

electronic means when possible, as well 

as by mail, fax, telephone and personto-person interviews. If an information 

collection is conducted in person, NIST 

will provide the respondent with a 

paper copy of the collection instrument 

that displays the ‘‘notwithstanding 

statement’’, OMB Control # and current 

Expiration date. 

III. Data 

OMB Control Number: 0693–0043. 

Form Number: None. 

Type of Review: Revision and 

extension of a currently approved 

information collection. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households, State, local or tribal 

government, Federal government. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

15,000. 

Estimated Time per Response: Varied, 

dependent upon the data collection 

method used. The estimated response 

time to complete a questionnaire is 15 

minutes or 2 hours to participate in an 

empirical study. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 15,000. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost to 

Public: $0. 

IV. Request for Comments 

NIST invites comments on: (a) 

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; 

(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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

Manufacturing Extension Partnership 

(MEP) is a national network of locally 

based manufacturing extension centers 

that assists small- and medium-sized 

manufacturers to improve their 

productivity, improve profitability, and 

enhance their economic 

competitiveness. The information 

collected will provide the MEP with 

information regarding MEP Center 

performance regarding the delivery of 

technology, and business solutions to 

U.S.-based manufacturers. The collected 

information will assist in determining 

the performance of the MEP Centers at 

both local and national levels, provide 

information critical to monitoring and 

reporting on MEP programmatic 

performance, and assist management in 

policy decisions. Responses to the 

collection of information are mandatory 

per the regulations governing the 

operation of the MEP Program (15 CFR 

parts 290, 291, 292, and H.R. 1274— 

section 2). The information collected 

will include center inputs and activities 

including services delivered, clients 

served, center staff, quarterly expenses 

and revenues, partners, strategic plan, 

operation plans, and client success 

stories. No confidentiality for 

information submitted is promised or 

provided. In order to reflect new 

initiatives and new data needs, NIST 

MEP has identified a need to revise its 

existing reporting processes by 

modifying existing reporting elements 

that will enable NIST MEP to better 

monitor and assess the extent to which 

the Centers are meeting program goals 

and milestones. 

II. Method of Collection 

The information will be collected 

from the MEP Centers through the MEP 

Enterprise Information System (MEIS), 

https://meis.nist.gov.

Review. 8,925 hours in year of Panel 

Review.
