73728 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 176 / Wednesday, September 11, 2024 / Notices 

of the funds for On-Site Consultation 

services delivered by the States, which 

result in the information collection. 

Four requirements apply to employers 

and specify conditions for receiving the 

free consultation services. 

II. Special Issues for Comment 

OSHA has a particular interest in 

comments on the following issues: 

• Whether the proposed information 

collection requirements are necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

agency’s functions to protect workers, 

including whether the information is 

useful; 

• The accuracy of OSHA’s estimate of 

the burden (time and costs) of the 

information collection requirements, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

• The quality, utility, and clarity of 

the information collected; and 

• Ways to minimize the burden on 

employers who must comply; for 

example, by using automated or other 

technological information, and 

transmission techniques. 

III. Proposed Actions 

OSHA is proposing that OMB revise 

the approval of the information 

collection requirements contained in the 

Occupational Safety and Health On-Site 

Consultation Agreements. The agency is 

requesting an adjustment decrease and a 

program change to incorporate the 

collections from OMB Control Number 

1218–0281. The number of burden 

hours have decreased from 223,495 to 

195,692 hours, a difference of 27,759 

hours. OSHA attributes this to fewer 

visits being conducted in recent years, 

including FY 2023. The reason for the 

fewer visits is likely flat funding of the 

program and inflationary pressures due 

to cost-of-living increases. Also, some 

Consultation programs are only now 

reestablishing onsite visits to worksites 

that were inaccessible during 

restrictions that resulted from the 

COVID–19 pandemic. Although there 

have been burden hour increases 

associated with some activities (e.g., 

adding activities associated with 

consultation visits involving the 

assessment of worksites where Process 

Safety Management (PSM) evaluations 

are conducted that were previously 

approved in OMB Control Number 

1218–0281, and OSHA’s instructions to 

Consultation programs to use the entire 

Form 33 on more consultation visits, to 

enhance consultation services to small 

business employers), these burden hour 

increases have been fewer than the 

decreased burden hours associated with 

fewer visits. 

OSHA will summarize the comments 

submitted in response to this notice and 

will include this summary in the 

request to OMB to extend the approval 

of the information collection 

requirements.

currently approved data collection.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title of Collection: NSF Research 

Experience and Mentoring Survey. 

OMB Number: 3145–0261. 

Expiration Date of Approval: 

November 30, 2024. 

Type of Request: Intent to seek 

approval to renew an information 

collection. 

Abstract: The Research Experience 

and Mentoring (REM) Program supports 

the active involvement of research 

participants (RPs) that include high 

school students, Science, Technology, 

Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) 

teachers, undergraduate STEM students, 

faculty, and veterans, in hands-on 

research in order to bring participants 

into contact with STEM mentors and 

expose them to a summer research 

experience. Research participants are 

recruited as cohorts in order to facilitate 

mentoring and research activities, 

community building, and provide 

mutual student support. 

The main goals of the REM Program 

are to provide research experiences and 

mentored opportunities to STEM 

students and/or educators that may 

ultimately enhance their career and 

academic trajectories while enhancing 

NSF research projects by the Emerging 

Frontiers in Research and Innovation 

(EFRI) program, the Engineering 

Research Centers (ERC), and the 

Industry-University Cooperative 

Research Centers (IUCRC). The REM 

Program may also enable the building of 

long-term collaborative partnerships 

among EFRI-,ERC-, and ICUCRsupported researchers, community 

colleges, local four-year colleges, and 

local school districts. 

A REM supplement of maximum of 

$110,000 over a 1-year period. Activities 

that are innovative and site-specific are 

encouraged. Effective REM programs 

typically have many of the following 

characteristics, which are provided here 

as general guidelines: mentorship 

training for researchers and affiliated 

graduate students or postdoctoral 

researchers; well-designed, introductory 

training for RPs; six to ten weeks of 

summer research (full time); continued 

mentorship of RPs throughout the 

academic year; participation of RPs in 

research team meetings and topicrelated conferences or workshops; and 

guidance for RPs in co-authoring 

publications and/or posters. 

NSF is requesting OMB approval for 

the REM program to collect information 

from past and present research 

participants and mentors. The REM 

program seeks to collect data from 

research participants and mentors to: (1) 

inform REM programming (e.g., to 

identify areas of growth); and (2) 

conduct retrospective analysis of the 

REM program to assess the success of 

REM historically. 

Use of the Information: The 

information collected is primarily for 

the use of the NSF REM program to 

assess the success of the program and 

for informing decisions NSF will make 

regarding future programming and 

support provided to research 

participants. 

Estimate burden on the public: 

Estimated at 180 hours for a one-time 

collection. 

Respondents: All REM research 

participants and mentors will be invited 

to respond to the survey. The REM 

research participants include high 

school students, STEM teachers, 

undergraduate STEM students, faculty, 

and veterans. 

Estimated number of respondents: 

540 (representing a 60% response rate). 

Average Time per Reporting: The 

online survey is comprised primarily of 

closed-ended questions and is designed 

to be completed by respondents in 

under 20 minutes. 

Frequency: One-time collection. 

Comments: Comments are invited on: 

(a) Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

Agency, including whether the 

information shall have practical utility; 

(b) the accuracy of the Agency’s 

estimate of the burden of the proposed 

collection of information; (c) ways to 

enhance the quality, utility, and clarity 

of the information on respondents, 

including through the use of automated 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology; 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. 

Please submit one copy of your 

comments by only one method. All 

submissions received must include the 

agency name and collection name 

identified above for this information 

collection. Commenters are strongly 

encouraged to transmit their comments
