SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title of Collection: FY 2011 and FY 

2013 Survey of Science and Engineering 

Research Facilities. 

OMB Control Number: 3145–0101. 

Expiration Date of Approval: October 

31, 2010. 

Type of Request: Intent to seek 

approval to reinstate an information 

collection for three years. 

Proposed Project: The National 

Science Foundation Survey of Science 

and Engineering Research Facilities is a 

Congressionally mandated (Public Law 

99–159), biennial survey that has been 

conducted since 1986. The survey 

collects data on the amount, condition, 

and costs of the physical facilities used 

to conduct science and engineering 

research. The survey also requests 

information on the networking and high 

performance computing capacity at the 

surveyed institutions, a critical part of 

the infrastructure for science and 

engineering research. Due to the 

rapidity of technological change, these 

questions are continually updated. It 

was expected by Congress that this 

survey would provide the data 

necessary to describe the status and 

needs of science and engineering 

research facilities and to formulate 

appropriate solutions to documented 

needs. During the FY 2007 and FY 2009 

survey cycles, data were collected from 

a population of approximately 495 

research-performing colleges and 

universities and approximately 163 

nonprofit biomedical research 

institutions receiving research support 

from the National Institutes of Health. 

Use of the Information: Analysis of 

the Facilities Survey data will provide 

updated information on the status of 

scientific and engineering research 

facilities and capabilities. The 

information can be used by Federal 

policy makers, planners, and budget 

analysts in making policy decisions, as 

well as by institutional academic 

officials, the scientific/engineering 

establishment, and state agencies and 

legislatures that fund universities. 

Burden on the Public: The Facilities 

Survey will be sent by mail to 

approximately 495 higher education 

institutions. The completion time per 

academic institution is expected to 

average 41 hours. Assuming a 95% 

response rate, this would result in an 

estimated burden of 19,280 hours for 

academic institutions.
