Download as PDF srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES 33774 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.

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 PO 00000 Frm 00074 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 9990 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.

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

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 well-matched comparison groups); and (3) project outputs 
(necessary to measure baseline for pre- and post- NSF-funding-level 
impacts).
    Use of the Information: This information is required for effective 
administration, communication, program and project monitoring and 
evaluation, and for measuring attainment of NSF's program, project, and

typically is necessary. At the individual project level funding can be 
adjusted based on individual project's responses to some of the

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
