ADMINISTRATION
Records Schedules; Availability and
Request for Comments
National Archives and Records
Administration (NARA).
ACTION: Notice of availability of
proposed records schedules; request for
comments.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The National Archives and
Records Administration (NARA)
publishes notice at least once monthly
of certain Federal agency requests for
records disposition authority (records
schedules). Once approved by NARA,
records schedules provide mandatory
instructions on what happens to records
when no longer needed for current
Government business. They authorize
the preservation of records of
continuing value in the National
Archives of the United States and the
destruction, after a specified period, of
records lacking administrative, legal,
research, or other value. Notice is
published for records schedules in
which agencies propose to destroy
records not previously authorized for
disposal or reduce the retention period
of records already authorized for
disposal. NARA invites public
comments on such records schedules, as
required by 44 U.S.C. 3303a(a).
DATES: Requests for copies must be
received in writing on or before July 28,
2005. Once the appraisal of the records
is completed, NARA will send a copy of
the schedule. NARA staff usually
prepare appraisal memorandums that
contain additional information
concerning the records covered by a
proposed schedule. These, too, may be
requested and will be provided once the
appraisal is completed. Requesters will
be given 30 days to submit comments.
ADDRESSES: You may request a copy of
any records schedule identified in this
notice by contacting the Life Cycle
Management Division (NWML) using
one of the following means (Note the
new address for requesting schedules
using e-mail): Mail: NARA (NWML),
8601 Adelphi Road, College Park, MD
20740–6001. E-mail:
requestschedule@nara.gov. FAX: 301–
837–3698.
Requesters must cite the control
number, which appears in parentheses

after the name of the agency which
submitted the schedule, and must
provide a mailing address. Those who
desire appraisal reports should so
indicate in their request.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Paul
M. Wester, Jr., Director, Life Cycle
Management Division (NWML),
National Archives and Records
Administration, 8601 Adelphi Road,
College Park, MD 20740–6001.
Telephone: 301–837–3120. E-mail:
records.mgt@nara.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Each year
Federal agencies create billions of
records on paper, film, magnetic tape,
and other media. To control this
accumulation, agency records managers
prepare schedules proposing retention
periods for records and submit these
schedules for NARA’s approval, using
the Standard Form (SF) 115, Request for
Records Disposition Authority. These
schedules provide for the timely transfer
into the National Archives of
historically valuable records and
authorize the disposal of all other
records after the agency no longer needs
them to conduct its business. Some
schedules are comprehensive and cover
all the records of an agency or one of its
major subdivisions. Most schedules,
however, cover records of only one
office or program or a few series of
records. Many of these update
previously approved schedules, and
some include records proposed as
permanent.
No Federal records are authorized for
destruction without the approval of the
Archivist of the United States. This
approval is granted only after a
thorough consideration of their
administrative use by the agency of
origin, the rights of the Government and
of private persons directly affected by
the Government’s activities, and
whether or not they have historical or
other value.
Besides identifying the Federal
agencies and any subdivisions
requesting disposition authority, this
public notice lists the organizational
unit(s) accumulating the records or
indicates agency-wide applicability in
the case of schedules that cover records
that may be accumulated throughout an
agency. This notice provides the control
number assigned to each schedule, the
total number of schedule items, and the
number of temporary items (the records
proposed for destruction). It also
includes a brief description of the
temporary records. The records
schedule itself contains a full
description of the records at the file unit
level as well as their disposition. If
NARA staff has prepared an appraisal

Notice of Intent to Seek Approval to
Establish an Information Collection
National Science Foundation.
Notice and Request for
Comments.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
SUMMARY: The National Science
Foundation (NSF) is announcing plans
to request clearance 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),
we are providing opportunity for public
comment on this action. After obtaining
and considering public comment, NSF
will prepare the submission requesting
that OMB approve clearance of this
collection for no longer than three years.
DATES: Written comments on this notice
must be received by August 12, 2005 to
be assured of consideration. Comments
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
Wilson Boulevard, Suite 295, Arlington,
Virginia 22230; telephone (703) 292–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Number: 3145–NEW.
Expiration Date of Approval: Not
applicable.
Type of Request: Intent to seek
approval to establish an information

Abstract:
Proposed Project:
Task 1
NSF’s priority area in Nanoscale
Science & Engineering (NS&E) has been
funded since FY 2001 and is funded at
approximately $335 million in FY 2005.
The goals of the NS&E priority area are
to support fundamental knowledge
creation across disciplinary principles,
phenomena, and tools at the nanoscale,
PO 00000
Frm 00079
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
and to catalyze synergistic science and
engineering research and education in
emerging areas of nanoscale science and
technology. A NSF contractor will study
partnerships and knowledge transfer
and innovation activities related to (1)
NS&E (Nanoscale Interdisciplinary
Research Team (NIRT) and Nanoscale
Science and Engineering Center (NSEC)
awards made during FY 2001–2004 and
(2) NSF awards to two networks that
work closely with NS&E—the National
Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network
(NNIN) and the Network for
Computational Nanotechnology (NCN).
Using a standard set of definitions to
ensure comparability across awards, the
contractor will collect data on patents;
licenses; state, local, and industrial
partnerships; start-up companies; and
other indicators of technology transfer
and collaboration with state and local
governments and industry. To the extent
possible, the contractor will also collect
data on state and private investments in
activities that complement or build
upon the NSF awards. For geographic
areas where there has been significant
NSF funding under these activities, the
contractor may propose to provide an
initial assessment of the contribution of
these awards to the regional economy.
The contractor’s data collection shall
include, but need not be limited to,
gathering information from public and
private databases and conducting
interviews with NS&E grantees to fill
remaining gaps. The data will be
integrated into a database with
information on each award. The
database will be consistent with the
database that the EEC Division has
constructed for the NSECs.
The analyses will summarize the data
overall and by mode of funding (NIRT,
NSEC, NNIN, NCN) and identify key
topics, if any that are a major focus for
knowledge transfer and partnerships.
Task 2
The subcontractor will define and
present alternative methodologies for
documenting the creation of an
interdisciplinary research community in
nonotechnology. These methodologies
shall provide a means to qualitatively
assess the size and scope of the
interdisciplinary research community in
nanoscience and nanoengineering from
the period 2001–2004. This analysis
will also provide a basis for determining
how collaborations lead to new
directions in research and education in
nanoscience and engineering. Most of
the data for this effort will be gathered
directly from the Internet. However, the
contractor may contact selected NS&E,
NNIN, or NCN awardees to fill data gaps
or to confirm data.
