SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR
seeks PRA authority for the information
collection requirements to conduct an
evaluation of the Disability Employment
Initiative (DEI). The DEI was designed to
improve educational, training and
employment opportunities and
outcomes of youth and adults with
disabilities by refining and expanding
already identified successful public
workforce strategies; improving
coordination and collaboration among
employment and training and asset
development programs implemented at
state and local levels; and build
effective community partnerships that
leverage public and private resources
better to serve individuals with
disabilities and improve employment
outcomes. The study will use two
distinct quasi-experimental design
study designs to determine the impact
of DEI interventions on participant
outcomes. Information will be collected
through annual site visits, a participant
tracking system, and a survey.
This proposed information collection
is subject to the PRA. A Federal agency
generally cannot conduct or sponsor a
collection of information, and the public
is generally not required to respond to
an information collection, unless it is
approved by the OMB under the PRA
and displays a currently valid OMB
Control Number. In addition,
notwithstanding any other provisions of
law, no person shall generally be subject
to penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information if the
collection of information does not
display a valid Control Number. See 5
CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. For
additional information, see the related
notices published in the Federal
Register on January 12, 2016 (81 FR
1446) and May 26, 2016 (81 FR 36350).
Interested parties are encouraged to
send comments to the OMB, Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs at
the address shown in the ADDRESSES
section within thirty (30) days of
publication of this notice in the Federal
Register. In order to help ensure
appropriate consideration, comments
should mention OMB ICR Reference
Number 201609–1230–001. The OMB is
particularly interested in comments
that:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
• Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the

including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,

technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,

Title of Collection: Survey of Earned
Doctorates.

Expiration Date of Current Approval:
May 31, 2018.
Type of Request: Intent to seek
approval to extend an information
collection for three years.
1. Abstract: Established within the
National Science Foundation by the
America COMPETES Reauthorization
Act of 2010 § 505, codified in the
National Science Foundation Act of
1950, as amended, the National Center
for Science and Engineering Statistics
(NCSES) serves as a central Federal
clearinghouse for the collection,
interpretation, analysis, and
dissemination of objective data on
science, engineering, technology, and
research and development for use by
practitioners, researchers, policymakers,
and the public. The Survey of Earned
Doctorates (SED) is part of an integrated
survey system that collects data on
individuals in an effort to provide
information on science and engineering
education and careers in the United
States.
The SED has been conducted
annually since 1958 and is jointly
sponsored by the National Science
Foundation, National Institutes of
Health, U.S. Department of Education,
and National Endowment for the
Humanities in order to avoid
duplication. It is an accurate, timely
source of information on one of our
Nation’s most important resources—
highly educated individuals. Data are
obtained via Web survey or paper
questionnaire from each person earning
a research doctorate at the time they
receive the degree. Data are collected on
their field of specialty, educational
background, sources of support in
graduate school, debt level,
postgraduation plans, and demographic
characteristics.
The Federal government, universities,
researchers, and others use the
information extensively. The National
Science Foundation, as the lead agency,
publishes statistics from the survey in
several reports, but primarily in the
annual publication series Doctorate
Recipients from U.S. Universities. These
reports are available on the NSF Web
site.
The survey will be collected in
conformance with the Privacy Act of
1974. Responses from individuals are
voluntary. NSF will ensure that all
individually identifiable information
