1See Docket No. RM2018–3, Order Adopting 

Final Rules Relating to Non-Public Information, 

June 27, 2018, Attachment A at 19–22 (Order No. 

4679). 

RIG’s requirements, recommended 

procedures, and best practices apply to 

any RI substantial enough to require 

ongoing, close interaction with NSF and 

the National Science Board. 

NSF will update the RIG periodically 

to reflect requirements, policies, and/or 

procedures changes. Awardees are 

expected to monitor and adopt the 

requirements and best practices 

included in the RIG, which aim to 

improve management and oversight of 

Major Facility and Mid-scale RIs and 

enable the most efficient and costeffective delivery of tools to the research 

and education communities. 

Submitting proposals and subsequent 

documentation related to the 

development, design, construction or 

implementation, and operations of a 

Major Facility or Mid-scale RI to NSF is 

part of the information collected that 

NSF uses to fulfill its responsibility to 

support merit-based research and 

education projects in all the scientific 

and engineering disciplines. NSF is also 

committed to providing oversight on RI, 

which they must balance against 

monitoring its information collection to 

identify and address any excessive 

reporting burdens. 

NSF has approximately 25 Major 

Facilities in various stages of 

Development, Design, Construction, 

Operations, and Disposition. Major 

Facilities undergoing a significant 

upgrade may be classified in both 

design or construction and operations at 

the same time. Two to four new 

construction awards are made 

approximately every five years based on 

science community RI needs and 

availability of funding. Among the 25 

Major Facilities, there are approximately 

seven (7) facilities annually that are 

either in Design or Construction Stages. 

These stages require the highest level of 

reporting and management 

documentation per the RIG. Currently, 

there are approximately 27 Mid-scale 

Research Infrastructure in the Track1 

Program and nine in the Track 2 

Program. 

Burden on the Public: NSF estimates 

that approximately five Full Time 

Equivalents (FTEs) are necessary for 

each Major Facility in design or 

construction to respond to NSF 

performance and financial reporting and 

project management documentation 

requirements on an annual basis; or 

10,400 hours per year. NSF estimates 

approximately one and half (1.5) FTE 

for a Major Facility in operations to 

respond to performance and financial 

reporting on an annual basis; or 3,120 

hours per year. For Mid-scale RI, NSF 

estimates approximately one (1) FTE is 

necessary for each Mid-Scale RI to 

respond to NSF project management 

documentation requirements on an 

annual basis; or 2,080 hours per year. 

With seven (7) Major Facilities in design 

or construction and twenty-one (20) in 

operations and four (4) Mid-scale RI, 

this equates to roughly 150,000 public 

burden hours annually. 

Comments: In addition to the 

previously mentioned types of 

comments, feedback is also invited on 

the following: 

(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. 

After obtaining and considering 

public comment, NSF will prepare the 

submission requesting OMB clearance 

of this collection for no longer than 3 

years.
