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

AGENCY:
ACTION:
SUMMARY: The National Science
Foundation (NSF) has submitted the
following information collection
requirement to OMB for review and
clearance under the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104–
13. This is the third notice for public
comment; the first was published in the
Federal Register at 70 FR 75227; the
second was published at 71 FR noting
one comment was received. This notice
is to acknowledge a second comment
received on February 16, 2006. NSF is
forwarding the proposed renewal
submission to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) for clearance
simultaneously with the publication of
this second notice. Comments regarding
(a) whether the collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of burden including
the validity of the methodology and
assumptions used; (c) ways to enhance
the quality, utility and clarity of the
information to be collected; (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 should be
addressed to: Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs of OMB, Attention:
Desk Officer for National Science
Foundation, 725–17th Street, NW.,
Room 10235, Washington, DC 20503,
and to Suzanne H. Plimpton, Reports
Clearance Officer, National Science
Foundation, 4201 Wilson Boulevard,
Suite 295, Arlington, Virginia 22230 or
send e-mail to splimpto@nsf.gov.
Comments regarding these information
collections are best assured of having
their full effect if received within 30
days of this notification. Copies of the
submission(s) may be obtained by
calling 703–292–7556.
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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Comment:
On February 16, NSF received a
comment from the Bureau of Economic
Analysis (BEA) requesting consideration
of several additional items to add to
both the academic and the FFRDC
survey forms. These items were as
follows: R&D expenditures that are not
separately budgeted by academic
institutions, foreign sources of R&D
funding as well as the expenditure
amounts that are passed through to
foreign performers, receipts universities
receive from the sale of R&D, Federal
funding of R&D divided into the
categories suggested by the Frascati
Manual (Section 6.3.2, item 397),
separate reporting for research software
purchases, and R&D expenditures used
to create software.
Response: NSF recognizes the
importance of these additional items to
BEA and other stakeholders. Although
NSF does not plan to add these items to
the survey forms for the 2006 fiscal year,
many of these are critical new indicators
of R&D in the 21st century and deserve
further investigation when planning the
survey’s future. Therefore, each of these
items will be included for consideration
in survey workshops with institutional
respondents, in order to determine the
best ways of obtaining these data with
minimal respondent burden.
