NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION 

Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Comment Request 

AGENCY: National Science Foundation. 

ACTION: Submission for OMB review; 

comment request. 

SUMMARY: The National Science 

Foundation (NSF) has submitted the 

following information collection 

requirement to OMB for review and 

clearance under the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104– 


erowe on DSK5CLS3C1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 137 / Monday, July 20, 2009 / Notices 35207 

13. This is the second notice for public 

comment; the first was published in the 

Federal Register at 74 FR 20740, and 

one comment was received. NSF is 

forwarding the proposed renewal 

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/do/PRAMain. 

Comments regarding (a) Whether the 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of burden including 

the validity of the methodology and 

assumptions used; (c) ways to enhance 

the quality, utility and clarity of the 

information to be collected; or (d) ways 

to minimize the burden of the collection 

of information on those who are to 

respond, including through the use of 

appropriate automated, electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology, should be 

addressed to: Office of Information and 

Regulatory Affairs of OMB, Attention: 

Desk Officer for National Science 

Foundation, 725 17th Street, NW., Room 

10235, Washington, DC 20503, and to 

Suzanne Plimpton, Reports Clearance 

Officer, National Science Foundation, 

4201 Wilson Boulevard, Suite 295, 

Arlington, Virginia 22230 or send e-mail 

to splimpto@nsf.gov. Comments 

regarding these information collections 

are best assured of having their full 

effect if received within 30 days of this 

notification. Copies of the submission(s) 

may be obtained by calling 703–292– 

7556. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

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 e-mail to 

splimpto@nsf.gov. 

NSF may not conduct or sponsor a 

collection of information unless the 

collection of information 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: 

Comment: On May 5, 2009, we 

published in the Federal Register (74 

FR 20740) a 60-day notice of our intent 

to request reinstatement of this 

information collection authority from 

OMB. In that notice, we solicited public 

comments for 60 days ending July 6, 

2009. One comment came from B. 

Sachau of Florham Park, NJ, via e-mail 

on May 5, 2009, who suggested that this 

information collection was already 

being conducted by the Department of 

Education. 

Response: NSF assures OMB that the 

Information Science Education Program 

is not also duplicated by the Department 

of Education. NSF believes that because 

the comment does not contain 

suggestions for altering the collection of 

information for which NSF is seeking 

OMB approval, NSF is proceeding with 

the clearance request. 

Title of Collection: Informal Science 

Education (ISE) Management 

Information System. 

OMB Control No.: 3145–0158. 

Abstract 

This document has been prepared to 

support the clearance of a Management 

Information System for the Informal 

Science Education (ISE) program. The 

goals for the program are to encourage 

and support projects that (1) Engage the 

interest of children and adults in 

science, technology, engineering, and 

mathematics (STEM) in daily life so that 

they develop capabilities; scientific and 

technological literacy, mathematical 

competence, problem-solving skills, and 

the desire to learn; (2) bring together 

individuals and organizations from the 

informal and formal education 

communities, as well as from the private 

and public sectors, to strengthen STEM 

education in all settings; and (3) 

develop and implement innovative 

strategies that support the development 

of a socially responsible and informed 

public, and demonstrate promise of 

increasing participation of all citizens in 

STEM. 

The ISE Management Information 

System is comprised of three Web-based 

surveys, an initial survey that obtains 

background information about the ISE 

project, an annual survey, and a final 

survey. The survey that obtains 

background information would be 

completed soon after project grants are 

awarded (i.e., within 45 days), the 

annual would be completed at the end 

of each program year, and the final 

would be completed soon after the ISE 

grant period has ended (i.e., within 45 

days). Through the use of these three 

surveys, the system will collect data 

from each ISE-funded project about the 

project, its grant recipient and partner 

organizations, participants, activities, 

deliverables, and impacts. Information 

from the system will be used by ISE 

program officers to evaluate the 

collective impact of the ISE portfolio of 

funded projects, to monitor projectrelated activities and projects’ progress 

over time, and to obtain information 

that can inform the design of future ISE 

projects. 

Expected Respondents 

The expected respondents are 

principal investigators of any ISE 

projects that have been funded since 

2004. 

Burden on the Public 

The estimated annual response 

burden is 2,508 person-hours. The 

estimated annual response burden has 

increased from the original request for 

clearance in 2006. In 2006, the annual 

burden was estimated at 1,920 hours. 

The reason for this change is the 

inclusion of additional ISE project types 

in the OPMS that were not included in 

prior rounds of data collection. Whereas 

only full-scale development and broad 

implementation projects were included 

in the 2006 estimates, the ISE program 

has added several new project types to 

its project portfolio, including 

Pathways, EAGER, and RAPID awards, 

all of which will be asked to complete 

the OPMS. In addition, the program has 

decided to include several categories of 

pre-existing ISE awards (i.e., Research, 

CRPA, Conferences) in the OPMS for the 

first time, which represents a change in 

policy from prior years. The inclusion of 

these categories will allow the ISE 

program to generate an exhaustive set of 

information about ISE-funded projects, 

regardless of their size or scope, on an 

annual basis. 

In all cases, the respondents are PIs 

on ISE-supported projects. Burden 

hours per response are estimated on the 

basis of discussions with NSF program 

officers, a sample of ISE PIs, and 

experience in administrating similar 

surveys. The calculations used to 

determine the overall response burden 

of 2,508 hours are shown in the table. 

The differences in the number of hours 

per respondent type shown in the table 

are due to the fact that Research, 

Pathways, CRPA, Conference, EAGER, 

and RAPID awards are exempt from the 

section in the OPMS pertaining to 

project impacts.

1Estimates are provided for a typical annual collection cycle. Hours per respondent type figures and annual person hour totals are based on 

an average duration of 3.5 years for all award types excluding Conference, EAGER, and RAPID awards (i.e., 40 awards per year). Conference, 

EAGER, and RAPID awards each have an average duration of 1 year. Therefore, the 69 Full-scale and Broad Implementation respondents listed 

as completing an annual report are comprised of those projects who received Full-scale and Broad Implementation awards (23 each year) during 

the prior three years. Similarly, the 51 Research, Pathways, and CRPA respondents listed as completing an annual report are comprised of 

those projects who received these types of awards (17 each year) over the prior three years.
