SUMMARY: The National Science
Foundation (NSF) has submitted the
following information collection
requirements to OMB for review and

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

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:
Title: Survey of Doctorate Recipients.
OMB Control Number: 2145–0020.
Summary of Collection: The National
Opinion Research Center (NORC) will
conduct this study for NSF in 2006. The
National Research Council (NRC)
conducted the survey from 1973
through 1995, the National Opinion
Research Center (NORC) conducted the
1997 and 2003 surveys, and the Bureau
of the Census conducted the 1999 and
2001 surveys. Data collection will begin
in April 2006 using a mail
questionnaire, computer assisted
telephone interviewing and web survey.
The survey will be collected in
conformance with the Privacy Act of
1974 and the individual’s response to
the survey is voluntary. The first
Federal Register notice for this survey
was 70 FR 49320, published August 23,
2005, and one comment was received.
Comment: On August 23, 2005, NSF
published in the Federal Register (70
FR 49320) a 60-day notice of its intent
to request reinstatement of this
information collection authority from
OMB. In that notice, NSF solicited
public comments for 60 days ending
October 24, 2005. One comment was
received from the public notice. The
comment came from B. Sachau of
Floram Park, NJ, via e-mail on August
23, 2005. Ms. Sachau objected to the
information collection. Ms. Sachau had
no specific suggestions for altering the
data collection plans other than to
discontinue them entirely.
Response: NSF responded to Ms.
Sachau on November 22, 2005,
describing the program, and addressing
the frequency and the cost issues raised
by Ms. Sachau. NSF believes that
because the comment does not pertain
to the collection of information on the
required forms for which NSF is seeking
OMB approval, NSF is proceeding with
the clearance request.
Need and Use of the Information: The
purpose of this longitudinal study is to
provide national estimates of the
doctorate level science and engineering
workforce and changes in employment,
education and demographic
characteristics. The study is one of the
three components of the Scientists and
