Download as PDF 42676 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 144 / Thursday, July 27, 2006 / Notices rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with NOTICES of the survey, and that the issues regarding ambiguity in language used in the survey are addressed in the ‘‘FAQ’’ section of the website. After extensive phone and email correspondences, it was determined Ms. Paul’s concerns originated from distress about a new National Park Service policy regarding scientific collections. As that program is unrelated to our survey collection and her concerns of unclearly defined terms used in the survey are addressed in the FAQ section of the survey instrument, the NSF is moving forward with the clearance request. Title of Collection: ‘‘Scientific Collections Survey.’’ OMB Approval Number: 3145–NEW. Type of Request: Intent to seek approval to establish an information collection for three years Proposed Project: The Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) has requested an assessment of information regarding all object-based scientific collections maintained or financially supported by the Federal government or used in research supported by the Federal government, and ancillary materials directly related to them. The Interagency Working Group on Scientific Collections (IWGSC), established in September 2005 by the Committee on Science of the National Science and Technology Council, is working with the IDA Science and Technology Policy Institute (STPI) to collect the information through an online survey. As part of the IWGSC, the National Science Foundation (NSF) has agreed to survey institutions with object-based scientific collections that receive support from the NSF or that are used by researchers that receive support form the NSF. Estimate of Burden: The Foundation estimates that, on average, 40 minutes per respondent will be required to complete the survey, for a total of 400 hours for all respondents. Respondents from the approximately 730 institutions that receive NSF support for objectbased collections, or whose object-based collections are used by researchers that receive NSF support, will complete this survey once. Respondents: Not-for-profits. Estimated Number of Responses: 730. Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 5353 hours. Dated: July 24, 2006. Suzanne H. Plimpton, Reports Clearance Officer, National Science Foundation.
