SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Office 

of Management and Budget (OMB) seeks 

comment on a draft of a Federal 

Government strategy to move 

Departments and Agencies to a zero 

trust architecture. Executive Order 

14028, ‘‘Improving the Nation’s 

Cybersecurity,’’ requires the Federal 

Government to adopt a zero trust 

architecture. OMB is publishing 

strategic guidance for Departments and 

Agencies containing baseline 

expectations for their migrations to a 

zero trust architecture. OMB welcomes 

public input on this strategy in advance 

of finalization. This strategy document 

will be available for review and public 

comment at https://zerotrust.cyber.gov/.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The National Aeronautics and Space 

Administration (NASA) Office of 

Diversity and Equal Opportunity and 

the Office of Procurement, in 

accordance with Title VI of the Civil 

Rights Act of 1964, Title IX of the 

Education Amendments of 1972, 

Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 

1973, and the Age Discrimination Act of 

1975, requires grant awardees to submit 

an assurance of non-discrimination 

(NASA Form 1206) as part of their 

initial grant application package. The 

requirement for assurance of 

nondiscrimination compliance 

associated with federally assisted 

programs is long standing, derives from 

civil rights implementing regulations, 

and extends to the grant recipient’s subgrantees, contractors, successors, 

transferees, and assignees. Grant 

selectees are required to submit 

compliance information triennially 

when their award period exceeds 36 

consecutive months. This information 

collection will also be used to enable 

NASA to conduct post-award civil 

rights compliance reviews.

IV. Request for Comments 

Comments are invited on: (1) Whether 

the proposed collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance 

of the functions of NASA, including 

whether the information collected has 

practical utility; (2) the accuracy of 

NASA’s estimate of the burden 

(including hours and cost) of the 

proposed collection of information; (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 respondents, including automated 

collection techniques or the use of other 

forms of information technology. 

Comments submitted in response to 

this notice will be summarized and 

included in the request for OMB 

approval of this information collection. 

They will also become a matter of 

public record.

50378 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 171 / Wednesday, September 8, 2021 / Notices 

I. Abstract 

The National Aeronautics and Space 

Administration (NASA) is leading an 

Urban Air Mobility (UAM) vehicle noise 

cooperative human response study 

involving multiple testing locations, 

other US government agencies, 

academia, and industry. Overarching 

study goals are: 

1. Obtain a wide range of UAM 

vehicle sounds for use in human 

response studies. 

2. Provide insights into human 

response of UAM vehicle noise that will 

collectively be challenging for any 

single agency or organization to acquire. 

3. Create an open database of human 

response to UAM vehicle noise to 

support follow-on studies. 

The UAM vehicle noise cooperative 

human response study is currently 

divided into two phases: A Feasibility 

Phase (Phase 1) and Phase 2. Each phase 

executes one or more psychoacoustic 

tests. Phase 1 seeks to demonstrate and 

refine the test methodology that will be 

used in Phase 2. Since UAM vehicle 

noise may be challenging to acquire as 

stimuli, the Phase 1 psychoacoustic test 

will use other types of aircraft noise as 

stimuli. Phase 2 will focus on capturing 

human response to UAM vehicle noise 

stimuli. 

This information collection is for the 

Phase 1 psychoacoustic test. A remote 

psychoacoustic testing platform will 

allow recruited test subjects to listen to 

NASA-provided test sound stimuli over 

the internet using their own computers 

and headphones and register their 

annoyance rating for each. 

The outcome of the Phase 1 

psychoacoustic test is a demonstrated 

capability for ranking of sound stimuli 

by annoyance ratings from remote test 

subjects. 

II. Methods of Collection 

Test subjects will electronically 

indicate their annoyance rating to test 

stimuli into an interface displayed on 

their own computers. 

III. Data
