SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

In accordance with Executive Order 

12862, the National Institute of 

Standards and Technology (NIST), a 

non-regulatory agency of the 

Department of Commerce, proposes to 

conduct a number of surveys, both 

quantitative and qualitative, designed to 

evaluate our current programs from a 

customer’s perspective. NIST proposes 

to perform program evaluation data 

collections by means of, but not limited 

to, focus groups, reply cards that 

accompany product distributions, and 

Web-based surveys and dialogue boxes 

that offer customers the opportunity to 

express their views on the programs 

they are asked to evaluate. NIST will 

limit its inquiries to data collections 

that solicit strictly voluntary opinions 

and will not collect information that is 

required or regulated. Steps will be 

taken to assure anonymity of 

respondents in each activity covered 

under this request. 

II. Method of Collection 

NIST will collect this information by 

mail, fax, electronically, telephone and 

person-to-person sessions. 

III. Data 

OMB Control Number: 0693–0033. 

Form Number: None. 

Type of Review: Regular submission. 

Affected Public: Business or other for 

profit organizations, not-for-profit 

institutions, individuals or households, 

Federal Government, State, Local, or 

Tribal Government. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

12,000. 

Estimated Time per Response: Varied 

dependent upon the data collection. The 

response time may vary from two 

minutes for a response card or two 

hours for focus group participation. The 

average time per response is expected to 

be 30 minutes. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 3,022. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost to 

Public: $0. 

IV. Request for Comments 

Comments are invited on: (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 

(including hours and cost) of the 

proposed collection of information; (c) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; 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. 

Comments submitted in response to 

this notice will be summarized and/or 

included in the request for OMB 

approval of this information collection; 

they also will become a matter of public 

record.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

In accordance with Executive Order 

12862, the National Institute of

non-regulatory agency of the 

Department of Commerce, proposes to 

conduct a number of data collection 

efforts—both quantitative and 

qualitative—to determine requirements 

and evaluate usability and utility of 

NIST research for measurement and 

standardization work. These data 

collection efforts may include, but may 

not be limited to electronic 

methodologies, empirical studies, video 

and audio data collections, interviews, 

and questionnaires. For example, data 

collection efforts will be conducted at 

search and rescue training exercises for 

rescue workers using robots. Other 

planned data collection efforts include
