Submission for OMB Review; 30-day 

Comment Request; STAR METRICS®

(Science and Technology for 

America’s Reinvestment: Measuring 

the Effects of Research on Innovation, 

Competitiveness and Science) (OD) 

SUMMARY: Under the provisions of 

Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, the National 

Institutes of Health (NIH) has submitted 

to the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) a request for review and 

approval of the information collection 

listed below. This proposed information 

collection was previously published in 

the Federal Register on February 5, 

2015, page 6522 and allowed 60-days 

for public comment. No public 

comments were received. The purpose 

of this notice is to allow an additional 

30 days for public comment. The Office 

of Extramural Research (OER), National 

Institutes of Health (NIH), may not 

conduct or sponsor, and the respondent 

is not required to respond to, an 

information collection that has been 

extended, revised, or implemented on or 

after October 1, 1995, unless it displays 

a currently valid OMB control number. 

Direct Comments to OMB: Written 

comments and/or suggestions regarding 

the item(s) contained in this notice, 

especially regarding the estimated 

public burden and associated response 

time, should be directed to the: Office 

of Management and Budget, Office of 

Regulatory Affairs, OIRA_submission@

omb.eop.gov or by fax to 202–395–6974, 

Attention: NIH Desk Officer. 

Comment Due Date: Comments 

regarding this information collection are 

best assured of having their full effect if 

received within 30 days of the date of 

this publication. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To 

obtain a copy of the data collection 

plans and instruments or request more 

information on the proposed project 

contact: Dr. William Duval, Office of 

Planning, Analysis and Communication, 

OER, NIH, 6705 Rockledge Drive, Suite 

5166, Bethesda, MD 20892, or call nontoll-free number (301) 435–8683, or 

Email your request, including your 

address to: William.Duval@mail.nih.gov. 

Formal requests for additional plans and 

instruments must be requested in 

writing. 

Proposed Collection: STAR 

METRICS® (Science and Technology for 

America’s Reinvestment: Measuring the 

Effects of Research on Innovation, 

Competitiveness and Science)—0925– 

0616—REVISION—Office of Extramural 

Research (OER), National Institutes of 

Health (NIH). 

Need and Use of Information 

Collection: The aim of STAR METRICS®

is twofold. The goal of STAR METRICS®

is to continue to provide mechanisms 

that will allow participating universities 

and federal agencies with a reliable and 

consistent means to account for the 

number of scientists and staff that are on 

research institution payrolls, supported 

by federal funds. In subsequent 

generations of the program, it is hoped 

that STAR METRICS® will allow for 

measurement of science impact on 

economic outcomes (such as job 

creation), on knowledge generation 

(such as citations and patents) as well 

as on social and health outcomes. We 

have completed the initial data input 

and this request will finalize the 

quarterly data input process. 

OMB approval is requested for 1 year. 

The annualized cost to respondents is 

estimated to be $50,000. The total 

estimated annualized burden hours are 

1,000.

Proposed Collection; 60-Day Comment 

Request; Generic Clearance To 

Conduct Voluntary Customer/Partner 

Surveys (NLM) 

SUMMARY: In compliance with the 

requirement of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 

for opportunity for public comment on 

proposed data collection projects, the 

National Library of Medicine (NLM), 

National Institutes of Health (NIH), will 

publish periodic summaries of proposed 

projects to be submitted to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

review and approval. 

Written comments and/or suggestions 

from the public and affected agencies 

are invited on one or more of the 

following points: (1) Whether the 

proposed collection of information is 

necessary for the proper performance of 

the function of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; (2) The accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; (3) 

Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (4) Ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on those who are to respond, including 

the use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

To Submit Comments and for Further 

Information: To obtain a copy of the 

data collection plans and instruments, 

submit comments in writing, or request 

more information on the proposed 

project, contact: David Sharlip, Office of 

Administrative and Management

Medicine, Building 38A, Room B2N12, 

8600 Rockville Pike, Bethesda, MD 

20894, or call non-toll-free number (301) 

402–9680, or Email your request, 

including your address to: sharlipd@

mail.nih.gov Formal requests for 

additional plans and instruments must 

be requested in writing. 

Comment Due Date: Comments 

regarding this information collection are 

best assured of having their full effect if 

received within 60 days of the date of 

this publication. 

Proposed Collection: Generic 

Clearance to Conduct Voluntary 

Customer/Partner Surveys (NLM), 0925– 

0476, Expiration Date 07/31/2015, 

EXTENSION, National Library of 

Medicine (NLM), National Institutes of 

Health (NIH). 

Need and Use of Information 

Collection: In 1994, the NLM was 

designated a ‘‘Federal Reinvention 

Laboratory’’ with a major objective of 

improving its methods of delivering 

information to the public. At a 

minimum, necessary elements in 

improving the delivery of information 

include: (1) Development of easy-to-use 

access and delivery mechanisms that 

promote the public’s understanding of 

health information, drawing on research 

in lay terminology, graphical and 

multimedia presentations; (2) assisting 

those providing health information to 

the public to make effective use of 

electronic services through Internet 

connections, training, and other means, 

with an emphasis on those serving 

minority groups, low income 

populations, and seniors; (3) promoting 

integrations of NLM services with other 

electronic services covering regional, 

state, or local health information; and 

(4) conducting and supporting research, 

development, and evaluation of the 

public’s health information needs, 

information seeking behavior and 

learning styles, information systems that 

meet the public’s needs, and the impact 

of access to information. 

NLM has become an international 

leader in health informatics research 

and development, especially in 

consumer health informatics. As a 

result, NLM needs to remain 

contemporary in consumer health 

informatics research by utilizing 

research methods that yield a better 

understanding of the predictors of 

consumer satisfaction. Without ongoing 

insights into the predictors of consumer 

satisfaction, NLM will lack the research 

findings to make evidence-based 

changes in the content, design and 

editorial management of its consumer 

Web sites and will not optimally serve 

the public. 

OMB approval is requested for 3 

years. There are no costs to respondents 

other than their time. The total 

estimated annualized burden hours are 

750.
