Comment Request.
Title of Collection: International Cover

OMB Control No.: 3145–0205.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The National Science
Foundation (NSF) has submitted the
following information collection
requirement to OMB for review and
clearance under the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104–
13. This is the second notice for public
comment; the first was published in the
Federal Register at 75 FR 4876, and no
comments were received. NSF is
forwarding the proposed renewal
submission to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) for clearance
simultaneously with the publication of
this second notice. The full submission
may be found at: https://
www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain.
Comments regarding (a) Whether the
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’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; (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
addressed to: Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs of OMB, Attention:
Desk Officer for National Science
Foundation, 725 17th Street, NW., Room
10235, Washington, DC 20503, and to
Suzanne H. Plimpton, Reports Clearance
Officer, National Science Foundation,
4201 Wilson Boulevard, Suite 295,
Arlington, Virginia 22230 or send e-mail
to splimpto@nsf.gov. Comments
regarding these information collections
are best assured of having their full
effect if received within 30 days of this
notification. Copies of the submission(s)
may be obtained by calling 703–292–

persons are not required to respond to
the collection of information unless it

Abstract
The Office of International Science
and Engineering within the Office of the
NSF Director will use the International
Cover Page Addendum. Principal
Investigators submitting proposals to
this Office will be asked to complete an
electronic version of the International
Cover Page Addendum. The Addendum
requests foreign counterpart
investigator/host information and
participant demographics not requested
elsewhere in NSF proposal documents.
The information gathered with the
International Cover Page Addendum
serves four purposes. The first is to
enable proposal assignment to the
program officer responsible for activity
with the primary countries involved. No
current component of a standard NSF
proposal requests this information. (The
international cooperative activities box
on the standard NSF Cover Page applies
only to one specific type of activity, not
the wide range of activities supported
by OISE.) NSF proposal assignment
applications are program element-based
and therefore cannot be used to
determine assignment by country. The
second use of the information is
program management. OISE is
committed to investing in activities in
all regions of the world. With data from
this form, the Office can determine
submissions by geographic region.
Thirdly, funding decisions cannot be
made without details for the
international partner not included in
any other part of the submission
process. The fourth section, counts of
scientists and students to be supported
by the project, are also not available
elsewhere in the proposal since OISE
budgets do not include participant
support costs. These factors are all
important for OISE program
management.
Estimated Number of Annual
Respondents: 600.
Burden on the Public: 150 hours (15
minutes per respondent).
Dated: April 26, 2010.

Reports Clearance Officer, National Science
Foundation.
