of its continuing effort to reduce 

paperwork and respondent burden, the 

National Science Foundation invites the 

general public and other Federal 

agencies to take this opportunity to 

comment on this information collection. 

This is the second notice for public 

comment; the first was published in the 

Federal Register at 80 FR 69701 and no 

comments were received. NSF is 

forwarding the proposed submission to 

the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) for clearance simultaneously 

with the publication of this second 

notice. The full submission may be 

found at: http://www.reginfo.gov/public/

DATES: Comments regarding these 

information collections are best assured 

of having their full effect if received by 

OMB within 30 days of publication in 

the Federal Register. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments 

regarding the information collection and 

requests for copies of the proposed 

information collection request should be 

addressed to Suzanne Plimpton, Reports 

Clearance Officer, National Science 

Foundation, 4201 Wilson Blvd., Rm. 

295, Arlington, VA 22230, or by email 

to splimpto@nsf.gov. Copies of the 

submission may be obtained by calling 

(703) 292–7556.

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number and the agency informs 

potential persons who are to respond to 

the collection of information that such 

persons are not required to respond to 

the collection of information unless it 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title of Collection: Education and

Clearance. 

OMB Approval Number: 3145–0226. 

Type of Request: Intent to seek 

approval to renew an information 

collection. 

Abstract: The National Science 

Foundation (NSF) requests 

establishment of program accountability 

data collections that describe and track 

the impact of NSF funding that focuses 

on the Nation’s science, technology, 

engineering, and mathematics (STEM) 

education and STEM workforce. NSF 

funds grants, contracts, and cooperative 

agreements to colleges, universities, and 

other eligible institutions, and provides 

graduate research fellowships to 

individuals in all parts of the United 

States and internationally. 

The Directorate for Education and 

Human Resources (EHR), a unit within 

NSF, promotes rigor and vitality within 

the Nation’s STEM education enterprise 

to further the development of the 21st 

century’s STEM workforce and public 

scientific literacy. EHR does this 

through diverse projects and programs 

that support research, extension, 

outreach, and hands-on activities that 

service STEM learning and research at 

all institutional (e.g., pre-school through 

postdoctoral) levels in formal and 

informal settings; and individuals of all 

ages (birth and beyond). EHR also 

focuses on broadening participation in 

STEM learning and careers among 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 26 / Tuesday, February 9, 2016 / Notices 6895 

United States citizens, permanent 

residents, and nationals, particularly 

those individuals traditionally 

underemployed in the STEM research 

workforce, including but not limited to 

women, persons with disabilities, and 

racial and ethnic minorities. 

The scope of this information 

collection request will primarily cover 

descriptive information gathered from 

education and training (E&T) projects 

that are funded by NSF. NSF will 

primarily use the data from this 

collection for program planning, 

management, and audit purposes to 

respond to queries from the Congress, 

the public, NSF’s external merit 

reviewers who serve as advisors, 

including Committees of Visitors 

(COVs), the NSF’s Office of the 

Inspector General, and as a basis for 

either internal or third-party evaluations 

of individual programs. 

The collections will generally include 

three categories of descriptive data: (1) 

Staff and project participants (data that 

are also necessary to determine 

individual-level treatment and control 

groups for future third-party study or for 

internal evaluation); (2) project 

implementation characteristics (also 

necessary for future use to identify wellmatched comparison groups); and (3) 

project outputs (necessary to measure 

baseline for pre- and post-NSF-fundinglevel impacts). 

Use of the Information: This 

information is required for effective 

administration, communication, 

program and project monitoring and 

evaluation, and for measuring 

attainment of NSF’s program, project, 

and strategic goals, and as identified by 

the President’s Accountability in 

Government Initiative; GPRA, and the 

NSF’s Strategic Plan. The Foundation’s 

FY 2014–2018 Strategic Plan may be 

found at: http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/ 

2014/nsf14043/nsf14043.pdf. 

Since this collection will primarily be 

used for accountability and evaluation 

purposes, including responding to 

queries from COVs and other scientific 

experts, a census rather than sampling 

design typically is necessary. At the 

individual project level funding can be 

adjusted based on individual project’s 

responses to some of the surveys. Some 

data collected under this collection will 

serve as baseline data for separate 

research and evaluation studies. 

NSF-funded contract or grantee 

researchers and internal or external 

evaluators in part may identify control, 

comparison, or treatment groups for 

NSF’s E&T portfolio using some of the 

descriptive data gathered through this 

collection to conduct well-designed, 

rigorous research and portfolio 

evaluation studies. 

Respondents: Individuals or 

households, not-for-profit institutions, 

business or other for profit, and Federal, 

State, local, or tribal government. 

Number of Respondents: 7,284. 

Burden on the Public: NSF estimates 

that a total reporting and recordkeeping 

burden of 58,449 hours will result from 

activities to monitor EHR STEM 

education programs. The calculation is 

shown in table 1.

average annual reporting burden is 

between 1.7 and 114 hours per 

‘‘respondent,’’ depending on whether a 

respondent is a direct participant who is 

self-reporting or representing a project 

and reporting on behalf of many project 

participants.
