Performance Measurement (OEPM) 

Program-level data system. Forms and 

instruments to be tested include 

program application forms, customer 

satisfaction questionnaires, focus group 

protocols, and project activity survey 

instruments. Methodological testing will 

include focus group discussions, pilot 

surveys to test new individual question 

items as well as the complete form and 

instrument. In addition, test-retest and 

similar protocols will be used to 

determine reliability characteristics of 

the forms and instruments. 

Methodological testing will assure that 

forms and instruments accurately and 

consistently collect and measure what 

they are intended to measure and that 

data collection items are interpreted 

precisely and consistently, all towards 

the goal of accurate Agency reporting 

while improving the execution of NASA 

Education project activities.

[Notice: (17–093)] 

Notice of Information Collection 

AGENCY: National Aeronautics and 

Space Administration (NASA). 

ACTION: Notice of information collection. 

SUMMARY: The National Aeronautics and 

Space Administration, as part of its 

continuing effort to reduce paperwork 

and respondent burden, invites the 

general public and other Federal 

agencies to take this opportunity to 

comment on proposed and/or 

continuing information collections, as 

required by the Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995. 

DATES: All comments should be 

submitted within 60 calendar days from 

the date of this publication. 

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are 

invited to submit written comments 

regarding the proposed information 

collection to the Office of Information 

and Regulatory Affairs, Office of 

Management and Budget, 725 7th Street 

NW, Washington, DC 20543. Attention: 

Desk Officer for NASA. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Requests for additional information or 

copies of the information collection 

instrument and instructions should be

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

NASA’s founding legislation, the 

Space Act of 1958, as amended, directs 

the agency to expand human knowledge 

of Earth and space phenomena and to 

preserve the role of the United States as 

a leader in aeronautics, space science, 

and technology. The NASA Office of 

Education has three primary goals: (1) 

Strengthen NASA and the Nation’s 

future workforce, (2) attract and retain 

students in science, technology, 

engineering and mathematics, or STEM, 

disciplines, and (3) engage Americans in 

NASA’s mission. This notice informs 

the public of NASA’s intent to review 

and revise the currently approved 

information collection for STEM 

Challenge project activities. The request 

for emergency renewal pertains to the 

administration of surveys to youth in 

support of the agency’s STEM challenge 

activities for youth. The information 

collection was previously revised to 

collect the minimum amount of data 

required to (1) evaluate the activity for 

improvement opportunities, and (2) 

collect outcome data to assess the 

activity model’s effectiveness in meeting 

its intended objectives. The number of 

youth participating in this information 

collection were previously reduced to 

reflect the estimated number of 

participants who will be engaged in this 

activity in the future. The cost of the 

information collection, to participating 

members of the public, reflects a 

previous reduction as a result of the 

changes to the information collection 

described above.
