paperwork and respondent burden,
conducts a preclearance consultation
program to provide the general public
and Federal agencies with an
opportunity to comment on proposed
and/or continuing collections of
information in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA95) [44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)]. This
program helps to ensure that requested
data can be provided in the desired
format, reporting burden (time and
financial resources) is minimized,
collection instruments are clearly
understood, and the impact of collection
requirements on respondents can be
properly assessed. Currently, the
Employment Standards Administration
is soliciting comments concerning the
proposed collection: Request for
Examination and/or Treatment (LS–1).
A copy of the proposed information
collection request can be obtained by
contacting the office listed below in the
addresses section of this Notice.
DATES: Written comments must be
submitted to the office listed in the
addresses section below on or before
May 2, 2005.
ADDRESSES: Ms. Hazel M. Bell, U.S.
Department of Labor, 200 Constitution
Ave., NW., Room S–3201, Washington,
DC 20210, telephone (202) 693–0418,
fax (202) 693–1451, e-mail
bell.hazel@dol.gov. Please use only one
method of transmission for comments
(mail, fax, or e-mail).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background: The Office of Workers’
Compensation Programs (OWCP)
administers the Longshore and Harbor
Workers’ Compensation Act (LHWCA).
The Act provides benefits to workers
injured in maritime employment on the
navigable waters of the United States or
in an adjoining area customarily used by
an employee in loading, unloading,
repairing or building a vessel. Under
Section 7 (33 U.S.C., Chapter 18,
Section 907) of the Longshore Act the
employer/insurance carrier is
responsible for furnishing medical care
for the injured employee for such period
of time as the injury or recovery period
may require. Form LS–1 serves two
purposes: (1) It authorizes the medical
care and (2) provides a vehicle for the
treating physician to report the findings,
treatment given and anticipated
physical condition of the employee.
This information collection is currently
approved for use through November 30,
2005.
II. Review Focus: The Department of
Labor is particularly interested in
comments which:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
VerDate jul<14>2003

Jkt 205001
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
proposed collection of information,
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,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.
III. Current Actions: The Department
of Labor seeks the approval of the
extension of this information collection
in order to carry out its responsibility to
verify that proper medical treatment has
been authorized and to determine the
severity of a claimant’s injuries for
purposes of compensation benefits.

AGENCY:
ACTION:
SUMMARY: The National Science
Foundation (NSF) is announcing plans
to request renewal of this collection. In
accordance with the requirement of
Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–13),

and considering public comment, NSF
will prepare the submission requesting
that OMB approve clearance of this
collection for no longer than 3 years.
DATES: Written comments on this notice
must be received by May 2, 2005 to be

received after that date will be
considered to the extent practicable.
FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION OR
COMMENTS: Contact Suzanne H.
Plimpton, Reports Clearance Officer,
National Science Foundation, 4201

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title of Collection: Survey of Graduate
Students and Postdoctorates in Science
and Engineering.
OMB Approval Number: 3145–0062.
Expiration Date of Approval: May 31,
2005.
Type of Request: Intent to seek
approval to extend with revision an
information collection for three years.
Proposed Project: Graduation students
in science, engineering, and health
fields in U.S. colleges and universities,
by source and mechanism of support
and by demographic characteristics. An
electronic/mail survey, the Survey of
Graduate Students and Postdoctorates in
VerDate jul<14>2003

Jkt 205001
Science and Engineering originated in
1966 and has been conducted annually
since 1972. The survey is the academic
graduate enrollment component of the
NSF statistical program that seeks to
‘‘provide a central clearinghouse for the
collection, interpretation, and analysis
of data on the availability of, and the
current and projected need for,
scientific and technical resources in the
United States, and to provide a source
of information for policy formulation by
other agencies of the Federal
government’’ as mandated in the
National Science Foundation Act of
1950.
The proposed project will continue
the current survey cycle for three years.
The annual Fall surveys for 2005
through 2007 will survey the universe of
712 reporting units (schools) at 592
graduate degree-granting institutions.
There are 12,262 departments at these
schools that offer accredited graduate
programs in science, engineering or
health. The survey has provided
continuity of statistics on graduate
school enrollment and support for
graduate students in all science &
eningeering (S&E) and health fields,
with separate data requested on
demographic characteristics (race/
ethnicity and gender by full-time and
part-time enrollment status). Statistics
from the survey are published in NSF’s
annual publication series Graduate
Students and Postdoctorates in Science
and Engineering, in NSF publications
Science and Engineering Indicators,
Women, Minorities, and Persons with
Disabilities in Science and Engineering,
and are available electronically on the
World Wide Web.
The survey will be sent primarily to
the administrators at the Institutional
Research Offices. To minimize burden,
NSF instituted a Web-based survey in
1998 through which institutions can
enter data directly or upload
preformatted files. The Web-based
survey includes a complete program for
editing and trend checking and allows
institutions to receive their previous
year’s data for comparison. Respondents
will be encouraged to participate in this
Web-based survey should they so wish.
Traditional paper questionnaires will
also be available, with editing and trend
checking performed as part of the
survey processing. In the currently
ongoing Fall 2004 GSS survey,
preliminary data indicate that 95% of
the institutions are submitting the data
on the Web-based data collection
system. During the 2003 GSS survey
cycle, 87% of the institutions used the
Web-based data collection system.
The Fall 2003 GSS achieved a total
response rate of 99.4% for institutions

and 99.0% for departments. Response
rates are not yet available for the
currently ongoing Fall 2004 survey.
Estimate of Burden:
Respondents: Individuals.
Estimated Number of Responses:
12,262.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 35,443 hours.
Frequency of Responses: Annually.
Comments: Comments are invited on
(a) Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Agency, including whether the
information shall have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the Agency’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information; (c) ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information on respondents; and
(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.
