SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: Survey of Earned Doctorates. OMB Control Number: 3145–0019. Summary of Collection: The Survey of Earned Doctorates has been conducted continuously since 1958 and is jointly sponsored by six Federal agencies in order to avoid duplication. It is an accurate, timely source of information on our Nation’s most precious resource—highly educated individuals. Data are obtained via paper questionnaire or Web survey from each person earning a research doctorate at the time they receive the degree. Graduate Schools help distribute the Survey of Earned Doctorates to their graduating doctorate recipients. Data are collected on the doctorate recipient’s field of specialty, educational background, sources of support in graduate school, debt level, postgraduation plans for employment, and demographic characteristics. The survey will be collected in conformance with the National Science Foundation Act of 1950, as amended, and the Privacy Act of 1974. Responses from individuals are voluntary. NSF will ensure that all individually identifiable information collected will be kept strictly confidential and will be used for research or statistical purposes, analyzing data, and preparing scientific reports and articles. The first Federal Register notice for this survey was 73 FR 74757, published December 9, 2008, and one comment was received. Comment: On December 9, 2008 we published in the Federal Register (73 FR 74757) a 60-day notice of our intent to request reinstatement of this information collection authority from OMB. In that notice, we solicited public VerDate Nov<24>2008 17:03 Feb 11, 2009 Jkt 217001 comments for 60 days ending February 9, 2009. One comment was received from the public notice. The comment came from B. Sachau of Floram Park, NJ, via e-mail on December 9, 2008. 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: We responded to Ms. Sachau on December 17, 2008 describing the program, 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 Federal government, universities, researchers, and others use the information extensively. The National Science Foundation, as the lead agency, publishes statistics from the survey in several reports, but primarily in the annual publication series, ‘‘Science and Engineering Doctorates’’ and the Interagency Report, ‘‘Doctorate Recipients from U.S. Universities: Summary Report.’’ These reports are available on the Web. NSF uses this information to prepare Congressionally mandated reports such as Science and Engineering Indicators and Women, Minorities and Persons with Disabilities in Science and Engineering.

    The first Federal Register notice for this survey was 73 FR 74757,

    Comment: On December 9, 2008 we published in the Federal Register
