funded research and development
centers—A web survey, the Survey of
Scientific and Engineering Expenditures
at Universities and Colleges, originated
in fiscal year (FY) 1954 and has been
conducted annually since FY 1972. The
survey is the academic expenditure
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.
Use of the Information: The proposed
project will continue the current survey
cycle for three years. The Academic
R&D Survey will be a census of the full
population of an expected 656
institutions (619 universities of colleges
plus 37 federally funded research and
development centers—FFRDCs) for
academic years FY 2006 through FY
2008. These institutions account for
over 95 percent of the Nation’s
academic R&D funds. The survey has
provided continuity of statistics on R&D
expenditures by source of funds and by
science & engineering (S&E) field, with
separate data requested on current fund
expenditures for research equipment by
S&E field. Further breakdowns are
collected on passed through funds to
subrecipients by field of science and
engineering from specific Federal
Government agency sources.

is also requested. Data are published in
NSF’s annual publication series
Academic Science and Engineering R&D
Expenditures and are available
electronically on the World Wide Web.
The survey is a fully automated web
data collection effort and is handled
primarily by the administrators at the
Institutional Research Offices. To
minimize burden, institutions are
provided with an abundance of
guidance and help menus on the web,
in addition to printing and responding
via paper copy if necessary. Each record
is preloaded with the institutions 2
previous year’s data and a complete
program for editing and trend checking.
Response to this voluntary survey in FY
2004 was 94.0 percent. Burden
estimates are as follows.1

The
National Science Foundation, as
directed by the Antarctic Conservation
Act of 1978 (Pub. L. 95–541), as
amended by the Antarctic Science,
Tourism and Conservation Act of 1996,
has developed regulations for the
establishment of a permit system for
various activities in Antarctica and
designation of certain animals and
certain geographic areas requiring
special protection. The regulations
establish such a permit system to
designate Antarctic Specially Protected
Areas.
The applications received are as
follows:
Applicant: Jose L. Sericano (Permit
Application No. 2006–027),
Geochemical and Environmental
Research Group (GERG), Texas A&M
University, 833 Graham Road, College
Station, TX 77845.
Activity for Which Permit is
Requested: Take, Enter an Antarctic
Specially Protected Area, and Import
into the United States. The applicant
proposes to collect abandoned eggs and
tissue samples from salvaged penguins
and seabirds for his doctoral research
project involving the Environmental
Management of the Admiralty Bay, KGI:
Petroleum Hydrocarbons, Sewage
Pollution, and Persistent Organic
Pollutants. This project is a
collaborative project between the Texas
A&M University and the Brazilian
National Science Foundation. The
applicant proposes to enter the
Admiralty Bay Antarctic Specially
Protected Area to collect his samples.
The samples will be kept frozen and
finally destroyed at the university.
Location: Admiralty Bay Antarctic
Specially Protected Area, King George
Island.
Dates: February 1, 2006 to February 1,
2009.
