reinstatement focuses more specifically
on the outcomes of the RDE program,
and how alliances and researchers
receiving NSF RDE funding have
improved the academic environment for
students with disabilities. This
information collection will consist of an
on-line data instrument that RDE
awardees will use to submit annual data
on their project activities and
participants, as well as future evaluation
activities.
Use of the Information: This
information is required for effective
administration, communication,
program and project monitoring and
evaluation, and for measuring
attainment of NSF’s program, project
and strategic goals, as required by the
President’s Management agenda as
represented by the Office of
Management and Budget’s (OMB)
Program Assessment Rating Tool
(PART) and the NSF’s Strategic Plan.
The Foundation’s FY 2006–2011
Strategic Plan describes four strategic
outcome goals of Discovery, Learning,
Research Infrastructure, and
Stewardship. NSF’s complete strategic
plan may be found at: https://
www.nsf.gov/publications/
pub_summ.jsp?ods_key=nsf0648. Data
collected will be used for accountability
purposes, including responding from
queries from Committees of Visitors and
other scientific experts, and for separate
research and evaluation studies.

summarized below. We are required to
publish this notice in the Federal
Register under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. Chapter 35).
1. The title of the information
collection: NRC Form 748, ‘‘National
Source Tracking Transaction Report.’’
2. Current OMB approval number:
3150–0202.
3. How often the collection is
required: Initially, at completion of a
transaction, and at inventory
reconciliation.
4. Who is required or asked to report:
Licensees that manufacture, receive,
transfer, disassemble, or dispose of
nationally tracked sources.

respondents: 1,350 (350 NRC Licensees

7. Abstract: In 2006, The NRC

require licensees to report certain
transactions involving nationally
tracked sources to the National Source
Tracking System. These transactions
include manufacture, transfer, receipt,
disassembly, or disposal of the
nationally tracked source. This
information collection is mandatory and
is used to populate the National Source
Tracking System.
