described in this notice. The public is
invited to comment on the proposed
information collections pursuant to the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
DATES: Written comments must be
submitted to OMB at the address below
on or before August 30, 2007 to be
assured of consideration.
ADDRESSES: Send comments to Desk
Officer for NARA, Office of Management

Building, Washington, DC 20503; fax:
202–395–5167.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Requests for additional information or
copies of the proposed information
collections and supporting statements
should be directed to Tamee Fechhelm
at telephone number 301–837–1694 or
fax number 301–713–7409.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant
to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(Pub. L. 104–13), NARA invites the
general public and other Federal
agencies to comment on proposed
information collections. NARA
published a notice of proposed
collection for these information
collections on May 16, 2007 (72 FR
27592 and 27593). No comments were
received. NARA has submitted the
described information collections to
OMB for approval.
In response to this notice, comments
and suggestions should address one or
more of the following points: (a)
Whether the proposed information
collections are necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of NARA;
(b) the accuracy of NARA’s estimate of
the burden of the proposed information
collections; (c) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (d)
ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents, including the use of
information technology; and (e) whether
small businesses are affected by these
collections. In this notice, NARA is
soliciting comments concerning the

SUMMARY:
VerDate Aug<31>2005
15:11 Jul 30, 2007
Jkt 211001
Agency Form Number: NA Form
14110 and 14110A.
Type of Review: Regular.
Affected Public: Business or for-profit,
nonprofit organizations and institutions,
federal, state and local government
agencies, and individuals or
households.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
2,816.
Estimated Time Per Response: 15
minutes.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 704 hours.
Abstract: The information collection
is prescribed by 36 CFR 1254.72. The
collection is prepared by researchers
who cannot visit the appropriate NARA
research room or who request copies of
records as a result of visiting a research
room. NARA offers limited provisions to
obtain copies of records by mail and
requires requests to be made on
prescribed forms for certain bodies of
records. NARA uses the Item Approval
Request List form to track reproduction
requests and to provide information for
customers and vendors.
2. Title: Microfilm Rental Order Form.
OMB Number: 3095–0059.
Agency Form Number: NA Form
14127.
Type of Review: Regular.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
5,200.
Estimated Time Per Response: 10
minutes.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 867 hours.
Abstract: The NARA microfilm
publications provides ready access to
records for research in a variety of fields
including history, economics, political
science, law, and genealogy. NARA
emphasizes microfilming groups of
records relating to the same general
subject or to a specific geographic area.
For example, the decennial population
censuses from 1790 to 1930 and their
related indexes are available on
microfilm. Census records constitute the
vast majority of microfilmed records
available currently through the rental
program.

AGENCY:
ACTION:
SUMMARY: Under the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104–

of its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden, the
National Science Foundation (NSF) is
inviting the general public and other
Federal agencies to comment on this
proposed continuing information
collection. This is the second notice for
public comment; the first was published

and no substantial comments were
received. NSF is forwarding the
proposed submission to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
clearance simultaneously with the
publication of this second notice.
DATES: Comments regarding these
information collections are best assured
of having their full effect if received by
OMB within 30 days of publication in
the Federal Register.
ADDRESSES: Written comments
regarding (a) whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of NSF,
including whether the information will
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of
NSF’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; or (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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: FY 2007 and FY 2009 Survey of
Science and Engineering Research
Facilities.
Type of Request: Intent to seek
approval to reinstate an information
collection for three years.
Proposed Project: The National
Science Foundation Survey of Science
and Engineering Research Facilities is a
Congressionally mandated (Pub. L. 99–
159), biennial survey that has been
conducted since 1986. The survey
collects data on cyber infrastructure and
on the amount, condition, and costs of
the physical facilities used to conduct
science and engineering research. It was
expected by Congress that this survey
would provide the data necessary to
describe the status and needs of science
and engineering research facilities and
to formulate appropriate solutions to
documented needs. During the FY 2003
and FY 2005 survey cycles, data were
collected from a population of
approximately 475 research-performing
colleges and universities. This survey
population was supplemented with
approximately 190 nonprofit biomedical
research institutions receiving research
support from the National Institutes of
Health. Beginning with the FY 2003
cycle, a new section was added to the
survey requesting information on the
computing and networking capacity at
the surveyed institutions, an
increasingly important part of the
infrastructure for science and
engineering research. Other important
changes include updating the
networking and computing section,
based on technological changes that
may occur.
Use of the Information: Analysis of
the Facilities Survey data will provide
updated information on the status of
scientific and engineering research
facilities and capabilities. The
information can be used by Federal
policy makers, planners, and budget
analysts in making policy decisions, as
well as by institutional academic
officials, the scientific/engineering
establishment, and state agencies and
legislatures that fund universities.
Burden on the Public: Based on
pretests, the time to complete the
research space section of the survey
(Part 1) ranged from 10 to 85 hours with
VerDate Aug<31>2005
15:11 Jul 30, 2007
Jkt 211001
an average of 40 hours. The time to
complete the computing and networking
section of the survey (Part 2) averaged
60 minutes. Therefore, in total, the time
per academic institution to complete the
survey is expected to average
approximately 41 hours. Assuming a
94% response rate, this would result in
an estimated burden of 18,368 hours in
FY 2007 and a similar burden in FY
2009. [(.94 response rate × 477
institutions) × 41 hours = 18,368].
Because biomedical research
organizations generally are not as large,
diverse or complex as colleges and
universities, there is substantially less
variation in the survey completion time.
On average, completion time per
biomedical research organization for
Part 1 of the survey was 4 hours. For
Part 2 of the survey, average completion
time per biomedical research
organization was 1 hour. Therefore, in
total, the time per biomedical research
organization to complete the survey is
expected to average approximately 5
hours. Assuming a 94% response rate,
this would result in an estimated
burden of 895 hours in FY 2007 and a
similar burden in FY 2009. [(.94
response rate × institutions)] × 5 hours
= 895]
Total burden hours for academic
institutions and biomedical institutions
are 19,263.
