Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 110 / Thursday, June 7, 2012 / Notices
to meet the 8.5% trigger threshold to
trigger ‘‘on’’ in Tier 4 of the EUC 2008
program. The 13 week mandatory ‘‘on’’
period in New York for Tier 4 of the
EUC program will begin June 4, 2012.
As a result, the current maximum
potential entitlement in the EUC
program will increase from 47 weeks to
53 weeks.
• States that are triggered ‘‘on’’ to Tier
4 of the EUC08 program, but not
triggered ‘‘on’’ to EB, may be eligible to
augment the entitlement for new Tier 4
claimants with a maximum potential
duration of 16 weeks. This ability to
augment the entitlement of new Tier 4
claimants concluded with the week
ending May 26, 2012. Starting May 27,
2012, all claimants exhausting Tier 3
who establish entitlement in Tier 4 will
only be eligible for up to 6 weeks of
benefits. Claimants who had previously
been augmented with 16 weeks of
benefits can continue to draw those
benefits. States currently affected by this
provision are Arizona, California,
Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky,
Michigan, Mississippi, North Carolina,
Oregon, Puerto Rico, and South
Carolina.
Under Public Law 112–96, the current
total unemployment rate trigger
thresholds used to establish state
eligibility for the tiers of EUC are
scheduled to change. Currently, and
through the week ending May 26, 2012,
Tiers 1 and 2 do not require any specific
TUR trigger rate, Tier 3 requires a 6%
TUR trigger rate and Tier 4 requires an
8.5% TUR trigger rate. The current
trigger notices reflect state eligibility
under these TUR trigger rate thresholds.
With the week beginning May 27, the
following changes will take effect:
• Tier 1 will continue to be open to
all claimants with EUC eligibility, with
no changes.
• Tier 2 will require states to have at
least a 6% TUR trigger rate.
• Tier 3 will require states to have at
least a 7% TUR trigger rate.
• Tier 4 will require states to have at
least a 9% TUR trigger rate.
Because new unemployment rates
will not be released by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics before May 27, when
Public Law 112–96 causes changes in
the rates necessary to be ‘‘on’’ in certain
Tiers of EUC, states can now know with
certainty if they will have an ‘‘off’’
indicator in a Tier of EUC with the week
ending June 2.
• States that will be below the rate
necessary to remain on in Tier 2 under
the new 6% trigger threshold are: IA,
MN, NE., NH, ND, OK, SD, UT, VT, VA,
and WY. These states will have an ‘‘off’’
indicator in EUC Tier 2 with the week
ending June 2, 2012. The week ending
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:48 Jun 06, 2012
Jkt 226001
June 23, 2012 will be the last week in
which EUC claimants in those states
could exhaust Tier 1 and establish
eligibility in Tier 2. Under the phase-out
provisions, claimants could receive any
remaining entitlement they have in Tier
2 after June 23, 2012.
• States that will be below the rate
necessary to remain on in Tier 3 under
the new 7% trigger threshold are: DE,
HI, KS, MD, MA, MT, WV, and WI.
These states will have an ‘‘off’’ indicator
in EUC Tier 3 with the week ending
June 2, 2012. The week ending June 23,
2012 will be the last week in which EUC
claimants in those states could exhaust
Tier 2 and establish eligibility in Tier 3.
Under the phase-out provisions,
claimants could receive any remaining
entitlement they have in Tier 3 after
June 23, 2012.
• States that will be below the rate
necessary to remain on in Tier 4 under
the new 9% trigger threshold are: AZ,
IL, KY, MI, and OR. These states will
have an ‘‘off’’ indicator in EUC Tier 4
with the week ending June 2, 2012. The
week ending June 23, 2012 will be the
last week in which EUC claimants in
those states could exhaust Tier 3 and
establish eligibility in Tier 4. Under the
phase-out provisions, claimants could
receive any remaining entitlement they
have in Tier 4 after June 23, 2012.
Information for Claimants
The duration of benefits payable in
the EUC08 program, and the terms and
conditions under which they are
payable, are governed by Public Laws
110–252, 110–449, 111–5, 111–92, 111–
118, 111–144, 111–157, 111–205, 111–
312, 112–96, and the operating
instructions issued to the states by the
Department. The duration of benefits
payable in the EB program, and the
terms and conditions on which they are
payable, are governed by the FederalState Extended Unemployment
Compensation Act of 1970, as amended,
and the operating instructions issued to
the states by the Department.
In the case of a state concluding an EB
period, the State Workforce Agency will
furnish a written notice of any change
in potential entitlement to each
individual who had established
eligibility for EB (20 CFR 615.13 (c)(4)).
Persons who believe they may be
entitled to benefits under the EB or
EUC08 programs, or who wish to
inquire about their rights under the
program, should contact their State
Workforce Agency.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title of Collection: Education and
Human Resources Project Monitoring
Clearance.
OMB Approval Number: 3145–NEW.
Expiration Date of Approval: Not
applicable.
Type of Request: Intent to seek
approval to establish an information
collection.
Abstract: The National Science
Foundation (NSF) requests
establishment of program accountability
data collections that describe and track
the impact of NSF funding that focuses
on the Nation’s science, technology,
engineering, and mathematics (STEM)
education and STEM workforce. NSF
funds grants, contracts, and cooperative
agreements to colleges, universities, and
other eligible institutions, and provides
graduate research fellowships to
individuals in all parts of the United
States and internationally.
The Directorate for Education and
Human Resources (EHR), a unit within
NSF, promotes rigor and vitality within
the Nation’s STEM education enterprise
to further the development of the 21st
century’s STEM workforce and public
scientific literacy. EHR does this
through diverse projects and programs
that support research, extension,
outreach, and hands-on activities that
service STEM learning and research at
all institutional (e.g., pre-school through
postdoctoral) levels in formal and
informal settings; and individuals of all
ages (birth and beyond). EHR also
focuses on broadening participation in
STEM learning and careers among
United States citizens, permanent
residents, and nationals, particularly
those individuals traditionally
underemployed in the STEM research
workforce, including but not limited to
women, persons with disabilities, and
racial and ethnic minorities.
The scope of this information
collection request will primarily cover
descriptive information gathered from
education and training projects that are
funded by NSF. NSF will primarily use
the data from this collection for program
planning, management, and audit
purposes to respond to queries from the
Congress, the public, NSF’s external
merit reviewers who serve as advisors,
including Committees of Visitors
(COVs), the NSF’s Office of the
Inspector General and as a basis for
either internal or third-party evaluations
of individual programs.
The collections will generally include
three categories of descriptive data: (1)
Staff and project participants (data that
are also necessary to determine
individual-level treatment and control
groups for future third-party study or for
internal evaluation); (2) project
implementation characteristics (also
necessary for future use to identify wellmatched comparison groups); and (3)
project outputs (necessary to measure
baseline for pre- and post- NSF-fundinglevel impacts).
Use of the Information: This
information is required for effective
33775
administration, communication,
program and project monitoring and
evaluation, and for measuring
attainment of NSF’s program, project,
and strategic goals, and as identified by
the President’s Accountability in
Government Initiative; GPRA, and the
NSF’s Strategic Plan. The Foundation’s
FY 2011- 2016 Strategic Plan may be
found at: https://www.nsf.gov/news/
strategicplan/
nsfstrategicplan_2011_2016.pdf.
Since the this collection will
primarily be used for accountability and
evaluation purposes, including
responding from queries from COVs and
other scientific experts, a census rather
than sampling design typically is
necessary. At the individual project
level funding can be adjusted based on
individual project’s responses to some
of the surveys. Some data collected
under this collection will serve as
baseline data for separate research and
evaluation studies.
NSF-funded contract or grantee
researchers and internal or external
evaluators in part may identify control,
comparison, or treatment groups for
NSF’s ET portfolio using some of the
descriptive data gathered through this
collection to conduct well-designed,
rigorous research and portfolio
evaluation studies.
Respondents: Individuals or
households, not-for-profit institutions,
business or other for profit, and Federal,
State, local or tribal government.
Number of Respondents: 9,341.
Burden on the Public: NSF estimates
that a total reporting and recordkeeping
burden of 63,947 hours will result from
activities to monitor EHR STEM
education programs. The calculation is
shown in Table 1.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Scott Dunham, NTSB Office of Aviation
Safety, at (202) 314–6387.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act, the NTSB previously
published a Notice in the Federal
Register indicating its proposal to
collect the following information: (1)
Confirmation that the incident to be
reported falls under the scope of the
rule; (2) contact information, such as the
submitter’s name, company (if any),
email address, and telephone number;
(3) information about the flight and
aircraft, such as the call sign, type of
aircraft, location and time of the
occurrence, and altitude at which the
aircraft experienced the RA; (4)
information about the air traffic control
(ATC) services being provided to the
aircraft when the RA occurred, such as
the ATC facility name and
communications frequency in use; and
(5) a brief description of the RA type
and circumstances of the incident. 75
FR 15460 (March 29, 2010). Title 49
CFR 830.5(a)(10), which requires reports
of certain RAs, does not require
completion of the Web-based form;
however, the NTSB has created the
Web-based medium in order to provide
respondents with the option of
completing it, in lieu of placing phone
calls or sending other written
communications to the NTSB Office of
Aviation Safety.
The NTSB did not receive any
comments in response to the Notice of
information collection. At this juncture,
in accordance with OMB regulations
that require this additional Notice for
proposed ICRs, the NTSB seeks to notify
the public that it may submit comments
on this proposed ICR to OMB. 5 CFR
1320.10(a). Section 1320.10(a) requires
this ‘‘notice directing requests for
information, including copies of the
proposed collection of information and
supporting documentation, to the
[NTSB].’’ Section 1320.10(a) also
requires the NTSB request that
comments be submitted to OMB,
directed to the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs of OMB, Attention:
Desk Officer for NTSB, within 30 days

of this notice’s publication. Pursuant to
§ 1320.10(a), the NTSB will provide a
copy of this notice, together with the
date of expected publication, to OMB.
Under § 1320.10(b), within 60 days of
the receipt of the aforementioned
documents, OMB will notify the NTSB
of its decision to approve or disapprove
the collection of information described
herein. Section 1320.10(b) also states
OMB shall provide at least 30 days for
public comment after receipt of the
proposed collection of information
before making its decision.
You are asked to comment on any
aspect of this information collection,
including: (1) Whether the proposed
collection is necessary for the NTSB to
perform its mission; (2) the accuracy of
the estimated burden; (3) ways for the
NTSB to enhance the quality,
usefulness, and clarity of the collected
information; and (4) ways that the
burden could be minimized without
reducing the quality of the collected
information. The NTSB will summarize
and/or include your comments in the
request for OMB’s clearance of this
information collection.
Respondents’ completion of the
proposed Web-based form is voluntary,
as respondents who seek to report an
incident under 49 CFR 830.5(a)(10) may
do so by telephone or email. The Webbased form will be available on the
NTSB Web site. The form is not
duplicative of other agencies’
collections of information. The NTSB
estimates that respondents will spend
approximately 10 minutes in
completing the form. The NTSB
estimates that approximately 120
respondents per year will complete the
form.
