Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 85 / Tuesday, May 5, 2009 / Notices
SUMMARY: The National Science
Foundation is announcing plans to
request renewal of an annual Web-based
collection for the Informal Science
Education (ISE) Program. In accordance
with the requirement of section
3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, we are providing
opportunity for public comment on this
action. After obtaining and considering
public comment, NSF will prepare the
submission requesting OMB Clearance
of this collection for no longer than 3
years.
Comments: Comments are invited on
(a) Whether the proposed collection on
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Agency, including whether the
information shall have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the Agency’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information; (c) ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information on respondents,
including through the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology; and (d) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology.
DATES: Written comments should be
received by July 6, 2009, to be assured
of consideration. Comments received
after that date would be considered to
the extent practicable.
ADDRESSES: Written comments
regarding the information collection and
requests for copies of the proposed
information collection request should be
addressed to Suzanne Plimpton, Reports
Clearance Officer, National Science
Foundation, 4201 Wilson Blvd., Rm.
295, Arlington, VA 22230, or by e-mail

1. Abstract
This document has been prepared to
support the clearance of a Management
Information System for the Informal
VerDate Nov<24>2008
23:12 May 04, 2009
Jkt 217001
Science Education (ISE) program. The
goals for the program are to encourage
and support projects that (1) Engage the
interest of children and adults in
science, technology, engineering, and
mathematics (STEM) in daily life so that
they develop capabilities; scientific and
technological literacy, mathematical
competence, problem-solving skills, and
the desire to learn; (2) bring together
individuals and organizations from the
informal and formal education
communities, as well as from the private
and public sectors, to strengthen STEM
education in all settings; and (3)
develop and implement innovative
strategies that support the development
of a socially responsible and informed
public, and demonstrate promise of
increasing participation of all citizens in
STEM.
The ISE Management Information
System will be comprised of three Webbased surveys, an initial survey that
obtains background information about
the ISE project, an annual survey, and
a final survey. The survey that obtains
background information would be
completed soon after project grants are
awarded (i.e., within 45 days), the
annual would be completed at the end
of each program year, and the final
would be completed soon after the ISE
grant period has ended (i.e., within 45
days). Through the use of these three
surveys, the system will collect data
from each ISE-funded project about the
project, its grant recipient and partner
organizations, participants, activities,
deliverables, and impacts. Information
from the system will be used by ISE
program officers to evaluate the
collective impact of the ISE portfolio of
funded projects, to monitor projectrelated activities and projects’ progress
over time, and to obtain information
that can inform the design of future ISE
projects.
The expected respondents are
principal investigators of any ISE
projects that have been funded since
2004.
3. Burden on the Public
The average annual reporting burden
for the baseline and final reports is
approximately 40 hours, and the
reporting burden for the annual report is
approximately 24 hours. The total
elements will be 4,560 burden hours for
an average number of 150 respondents
per year. The burden on the public is
negligible because the collection is
limited to project participants that have
received funding from the ISE program.
