Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 21 / Tuesday, February 1, 2022 / Notices 5517 

Labor administers the Fair Labor 

Standards Act (FLSA), 29 U.S.C. 201, et 

seq. The child labor provisions of the 

FLSA establish a minimum age of 16 

years for employment in nonagricultural 

occupations, but the Secretary of Labor 

is authorized to provide by regulation 

for 14- and 15-year-olds to work in 

suitable occupations other than 

manufacturing or mining, and during 

periods and under conditions that will 

not interfere with their schooling or 

health and well-being. 29 CFR 570.35(b) 

describes the conditions of employment 

that allow the employment of 14- and 

15-year-olds, pursuant to a schoolsupervised and school-administered 

Work-Study Program (WSP), under 

conditions Child Labor Regulation 3 

otherwise prohibit. The regulation 

requires the implementation of an 

information collection with regard to a 

WSP. For additional substantive 

information about this ICR, see the 

related notice published in the Federal 

Register on September 28, 2021 (86 FR 

53690). 

This information collection is subject 

to the PRA. A Federal agency generally 

cannot conduct or sponsor a collection 

of information, and the public is 

generally not required to respond to an 

information collection, unless the OMB 

approves it and displays a currently 

valid OMB Control Number. In addition, 

notwithstanding any other provisions of 

law, no person shall generally be subject 

to penalty for failing to comply with a 

collection of information that does not 

display a valid OMB Control Number. 

See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. 

DOL seeks PRA authorization for this 

information collection for three (3) 

years. OMB authorization for an ICR 

cannot be for more than three (3) years 

without renewal. The DOL notes that 

information collection requirements 

submitted to the OMB for existing ICRs 

receive a month-to-month extension 

while they undergo review. 

Agency: DOL–WHD. 

Title of Collection: Work-Study 

Program of the Child Labor Regulations.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title of Collection: Program 

Monitoring Data Collections for 

National Science Foundation (NSF) 

Small Business Innovation Research 

(SBIR)/Small Business Technology 

Transfer (STTR) Programs. 

OMB Number: 3145–NEW. 

Expiration Date of Approval: Not 

applicable. 

Type of Request: Intent to seek 

approval to establish an information 

collection for post-award output and 

outcome monitoring system. 

Abstract: The NSF SBIR/STTR 

programs focus on transforming 

scientific discovery into products and 

services with commercial potential and/ 

or societal benefit. Unlike fundamental 

or basic research activities that focus on 

scientific and engineering discovery 

itself, the NSF SBIR/STTR programs 

support the creation of opportunities to 

move fundamental science and 

engineering out of the lab and into the 

market at scale, through startups and 

small businesses representing deep 

technology ventures. Here, deep 

technologies refer to technologies based 

on discoveries in fundamental science 

and engineering. The NSF SBIR/STTR 

programs are designed to provide nondilutive funding (financing that does not 

involve equity, debt, or other elements 

of the business ownership structure) at 

the earliest stages of technology research 

and development. 

The NSF SBIR/STTR programs are 

Congressionally mandated. By investing 

federal research and development funds 

into startups and small businesses, NSF 

hopes to stimulate the creation of novel 

products, services, and solutions in the 

private sector, strengthen the role of 

small business in meeting federal 

research and development needs, 

increase the commercial application of 

federally supported research results, 

build a strong national economy, and 

increase and develop the U.S. 

workforce, especially by fostering and 

encouraging participation of socially 

and economically disadvantaged and 

women-owned small businesses. 

Both the NSF SBIR and NSF STTR 

programs have two phases: Phase I and 

Phase II. Phase I is a 6–12 month 

experimental or theoretical investigation 

that allows the awardees to determine 

the scientific, technical, and commercial 

merit of the idea or concept. Phase II 

further develops the proposed concept, 

building on the feasibility of the project 

undertaken in Phase I, with a goal of 

working toward the commercial launch 

of the new product, process, or service 

being developed. 

The NSF SBIR/STTR programs 

request the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) approval of this clearance 

that will allow the programs to improve 

the rigor of our surveys for evaluations 

and program monitoring, as well as to 

initiate new data collections to monitor 

the immediate, intermediate, and longterm outcomes of our investments by 


tkelley on DSK125TN23PROD with NOTICE 
5518 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 21 / Tuesday, February 1, 2022 / Notices 

periodically surveying the startup 

businesses and their founders/cofounders involved in the businesses. 

The clearance will allow the SBIR/STTR 

programs to rigorously develop, test, 

and implement survey instruments and 

methodologies. 

The primary objective of this 

clearance is to allow the NSF SBIR/ 

STTR programs to collect 

characteristics, output, and outcome 

information from the startup companies 

funded by the programs. This collection 

will enable the evaluation of the 

impacts of our investments in 

technology translation and innovation 

over time. The second, related objective 

is to improve our questionnaires and/or 

data collection procedures through pilot 

tests and other survey methods used in 

these activities. Under this clearance a 

variety of surveys could be pre-tested, 

modified, and used. 

Following standard OMB 

requirements, NSF will submit to OMB 

an individual request for each survey 

project we undertake under this 

clearance. NSF will request OMB 

approval in advance and provide OMB 

with a copy of the questionnaire and 

materials describing the project. 

Data collected will be used for 

planning, management, evaluation, and 

audit purposes. Summaries of output 

and outcome monitoring data are used 

to respond to queries from Congress, the 

Small Business Administration (SBA), 

the public, NSF’s external merit 

reviewers who serve as advisors, 

including Committees of Visitors 

(COVs), NSF’s Office of the Inspector 

General, and other pertinent 

stakeholders. These data are needed for 

effective administration, program 

monitoring, evaluation, outreach/ 

marketing roadmaps, and for strategic 

reviews and measuring attainment of 

NSF’s program and strategic goals, as 

identified by the President’s 

Accountable Government Initiative, the 

Government Performance and Results 

Act Modernization Act of 2010, 

Evidence-Based Policymaking Act of 

2018, and NSF’s Strategic Plan. 

All questions asked in the data 

collection are questions that are NOT 

included in the annual, final or 

outcomes reports, and the intention is to 

ask the grantees even beyond the period 

of performance on voluntary basis in 

order to capture impacts of the research 

that occur during and beyond the life of 

the award. 

Grantees will be invited to submit 

information on a periodic basis to 

support the management of the NSF 

SBIR/STTR investment portfolio. Once 

the survey tool for a specific program is 

tested, grantees will be invited to submit 

these indicators to NSF via data 

collection methods that include, but are 

not limited to, online surveys, 

interviews, focus groups, phone 

interviews, etc. These indicators are 

both quantitative and descriptive and 

may include, for example, the 

characteristics of project personnel, 

sources of funding and support, 

knowledge transfer and technology 

translation activities, patents, licenses, 

publications, descriptions of significant 

advances, and other outcomes of the 

funded efforts. 

Use of the Information 

The data collected will be used for 

NSF internal and external reports, 

historical data, program level studies 

and evaluations, and for securing future 

funding for the maintenance and growth 

of the NSF SBIR/STTR programs. 

Evaluation designs could make use of 

metadata associated with the award and 

other characteristics to identify a 

comparison group to evaluate the 

impact of the program funding and 

other interesting research questions.

For life-of-award monitoring, the data 

collection burden to awardees will be 

limited to no more than 30 minutes of 

the respondents’ time in each instance. 

Respondents 

The respondents are either Principal 

Investigators (PIs) of the startup 

businesses that the NSF SBIR/STTR 

Programs awarded, founders, cofounders, and/or key personnel of the 

startup businesses. In the case of 

Business Survey, only one response 

from each startup/small business is 

anticipated. 

Estimates of Annualized Cost to 

Respondents for the Hour Burdens 

The overall annualized cost to the 

respondents is estimated to be $26,400. 

The following table shows the 

annualized estimate of costs to PI/ 

Founders/Business Partners 

respondents, who are generally 

university assistant professors. This 

estimated hourly rate is based on a 

report from the American Association of 

University Professors, ‘‘Annual Report 

on the Economic Status of the 

Profession, 2020–21,’’ Academe, 

March–April 2021, Survey Report Table 

1. According to this report, the average 

salary of an assistant professor across all 

types of doctoral-granting institutions 

(public, private-independent, religiously 

affiliated) was $91,408. When divided 

by the number of standard annual work 

hours (2,080), this calculates to 

approximately $44 per hour.
