Funding Opportunity Description
The U.S. Department of Labor
(USDOL or Department), Veterans’
Employment and Training Service
(VETS), announces a cooperative
agreement competition under 38 U.S.C.
Section 2021, as added by Section 5 of
Public Law 107–95, the Homeless

funds for cooperative agreement(s) to
assist in maintaining and improving
upon the National Technical Assistance
Center (NTAC) for the Homeless
Veterans’ Reintegration Program (HVRP)
to include the Homeless Female
Veterans and Homeless Veterans with
Families Program (HFV/HVFP) and the
Incarcerated Veterans Transition
Program (IVTP).
HVRP grants are intended to address
two objectives: (1) To provide services

SUMMARY: The Merit Systems Protection
Board (MSPB) is providing notice of an
extension of time in which parties may
file amicus briefs in the matter of
Hyginus U. Aguzie v. Office of
Personnel Management, MSPB Docket
Number DC–0731–09–0261–R–1.
DATES: All briefs submitted in response
to this notice shall be filed with the
Clerk of the Board on or before June 7,
2010.
ADDRESSES: Briefs must be filed with the
Office of the Clerk of the Board, Merit
Systems Protection Board, 1615 M
Street, NW., Washington, DC 20419. All
briefs shall be captioned ‘‘Hyginus U.
Aguzie v. Office of Personnel
Management’’ and entitled ‘‘Amicus
Brief.’’ Only one copy of the brief need
be submitted.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Matthew Shannon, Office of the Clerk of
the Board, (202) 653–7200.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Aguzie
and several other cases pending before
the Board present the following legal
issue: When the Office of Personnel
Management (OPM) directs an agency to
separate a tenured employee for
suitability reasons, must the Board
consider a subsequent appeal under 5
CFR part 731 as contemplated therein,
or should the Board instead consider the
PO 00000
appeal under 5 U.S.C. Chapter 75, given
that the scope of a Chapter 75 appeal is
broader than a part 731 appeal and that
OPM generally lacks authority to issue
regulations limiting statutory rights?
On April 16, 2010, MSPB published
in the Federal Register a Notice (See 75
FR 20007) that interested parties may
submit amicus briefs or other comments
on this issue no later than May 24, 2010.
The MSPB is extending the time until
June 7, 2010. Interested parties must file
amicus briefs with the Clerk of the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title of Collection: 2010 Survey of
Doctorate Recipients.
OMB Approval Number: 3145–0020.
Type of Request: Intent to seek
approval to revise an information
collection for three years.
1. Abstract
The Survey of Doctorate Recipients
(SDR) has been conducted biennially
since the 1970s. The 2010 SDR will
consist of a sample of individuals under
age 76 who have earned a science,
engineering or health doctorate from a
U.S. university from the NSF’s Survey
of Earned Doctorate, which is an annual
census of U.S. research doctorates. The
purpose of this longitudinal study is to
provide national estimates on the U.S.
educated doctoral science, engineering
and health workforce and changes in
employment, education and
demographic characteristics of that
workforce. The study is one of three
components of the Scientists and
Engineers Statistical Data System
(SESTAT), which produces national
estimates of the size and characteristics
of the nation’s science and engineering
workforce.
The National Science Foundation Act
of 1950, as subsequently amended,
includes a statutory charge to ‘‘* * *
provide a central clearinghouse for the
collection, interpretation, and analysis
of data on scientific and engineering
resources, and to provide a source of
information for policy formulation by
other agencies of the Federal
Government.’’ The SDR is designed to
comply with these mandates by
providing information on the supply
and utilization of the nation’s doctoral

scientists and engineers. Collected data
will be used to produce estimates of the
characteristics of these individuals.
They will also provide necessary input
into the SESTAT data system, which
produces national estimates of the size
and characteristics of the country’s
science and engineering personnel. The
Foundation uses this information to
prepare congressionally mandated
reports such as Women, Minorities and
Persons with Disabilities in Science and
Engineering and Science and
Engineering Indicators. A public release
file of collected data, designed to protect
respondent confidentiality, will be
made available to researchers on CD–
ROM and on the World Wide Web.
The National Opinion Research
Center (NORC) at the University of
Chicago will conduct the study for NSF.
Data collection will begin in October
2010 by mail, web survey and
computer-assisted telephone interview.
The survey will be collected in
conformance with the Confidential
Information Protection and Statistical
Efficiency Act of 2002 and Privacy Act
of 1974. The individual’s response to
the survey is voluntary. NSF will insure
that all information collected will be
kept strictly confidential and will be
used only for research or statistical
purposes.
2. Expected Respondents
A statistical sample of approximately
43,500 persons, identified as having a
doctorate in a science, engineering or
health field from a U.S. university will
be contacted. The total response rate in
2008 was 80 percent.
3. Burden on the Public
The amount of time to complete the
questionnaire may vary depending on
an individual’s circumstances; however,
on average it will take approximately 25
minutes to complete the survey.
Assuming an 80% response rate, NSF
estimates that the total burden for the
2010 SDR will be 14,500 hours.
