# FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

                        Requests for additional information or copies of the information collection instrument(s) and instructions should be directed to Frances Teel, NASA PRA Clearance Officer, NASA Headquarters, 300 E Street SW., Mail Code JF000, Washington, DC 20546, or                         *Frances.C.Teel@nasa.gov.*

# 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 revise a currently approved information collection for a project formerly known as the NASA Summer of Innovation Project. The                           ( print page 2746)                        request for renewal pertains to the administration of surveys to youth in support of the agency's STEM challenge activities for middle school youth. The information collection was 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. Youth surveys have been retained in this information collection, but the parent survey and teacher focus groups have been eliminated to reduce burden. The number of youth participating in this information collection has been 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, has also been reduced as a result of these and other changes to the information collection.
