will prepare the submission requesting
that OMB approve clearance of this
collection for no longer than 3 years.
Comments: Comments are invited on
(a) Whether the proposed collection of
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; or (c) 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.
DATES: Written comments on this notice
must be received by January 30, 2012 to
be assured of consideration. Comments
received after that date will be
considered to the extent practicable.

Proposed Project
The National Science Foundation
(NSF) is an independent Federal agency
created by the National Science
Foundation Act of 1950, as amended (42
U.S.C. 1861–75). The Act states the
purpose of the NSF is ‘‘to promote the
progress of science; [and] to advance the
national health, prosperity, and welfare
by supporting research and education in
all fields of science and engineering.’’
NSF has had a unique place in the
Federal Government: It is responsible
for the overall health of science and
engineering across all disciplines. In
contrast, other Federal agencies support
research focused on specific missions
such as health or defense. The
Foundation also is committed to
ensuring the nation’s supply of
scientists, engineers, and science and
engineering educators.
VerDate Mar<15>2010

NSF funds research and education in
most fields of science and engineering.
It does this through grants and
cooperative agreements to more than
2,000 colleges, universities, K–12 school
systems, businesses, informal science
organizations and other research
organizations throughout the U.S. The
Foundation accounts for about onefourth of Federal support to academic
institutions for basic research.
NSF proposes to conduct a survey to
determinate how NSF grantees identify,
oversee, and manage financial conflicts
of interest in research funded by NSF.
This survey focuses on NSF’s grantee’s
conflict of interest policies and
procedures, and on any conflicts of
interest that were identified and
managed from April 1, 2007, through
March 31, 2010.
By examining how NSF grantees have
identified and managed their financial
conflicts of interest, this survey will
help the Foundation determine whether
there are any areas for improvement in
NSF’s policies and guidelines.

Report for the aging management of
stainless steel structures and
components exposed to treated borated
water. In response to a request from the
Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI), the NRC
is extending the public comment period
until December 17, 2011.
DATES: The comment period has been
extended and expires on December 17,
2011. Comments received after this date
will be considered, if it is practical to do
