National Science Foundation.
Emergency Clearance: Public
Information Collection Requirements
Submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB).
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The National Science
Foundation (NSF) is announcing plans
to request approval of this collection. In
accordance with the requirement of
Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, we are providing
an opportunity for public comment on
this action. After obtaining and
considering public comment, NSF will
prepare the submission requesting that
OMB approve clearance of this
collection for no longer than 3 years.
DATES: Interested persons are invited to
send comments regarding the burden or
any other aspect of this collection of
information requirements by August 23,
2012.
ADDRESSES: Written comments
regarding the information collection and
requests for copies of the proposed
information collection request should be
addressed to Suzanne Plimpton, Reports
Clearance Officer, National Science
Foundation, 4201 Wilson Blvd., Rm.
295, Arlington, VA 22230, or by email
to splimpto@nsf.gov, and Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs,
Office of Management and Budget,
Room 10235, New Executive Office
Building, Washington, DC 20503. Attn:
Sharon Mar, NSF Desk Officer.
Comments: Written comments are
invited on (a) whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the Agency, including
SUMMARY:
PO 00000

Fmt 4703

whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
Agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information on
respondents, including through the use
of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology;
or (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.
NSF has determined that it cannot
reasonably comply with the normal
clearance procedures under 5 CFR 1320
because normal clearance procedures
are reasonably likely to prevent or
disrupt the collection of information.
NSF is requesting emergency review
from OMB of this information
collection, which is a module in the
FastLane Project Reports System. The
emergency review and approval of this
information collection request will
assure continuation of the collection of
information on student participants in
the Research Experiences for
Undergraduates (REU) Site and
Supplement awards as required in
annual and final reports. OMB approval
has been requested for August 31, 2012.
If granted, the emergency approval is
only valid for 180 days.
During this same period, a regular
review of this information collection
will be undertaken. During the regular
review period, the NSF requests written
comments and suggestions from the
public and affected agencies concerning
this information collection. Comments
are encouraged and will be accepted
until September 24, 2012 to be assured
of consideration. Comments received
after that date will be considered to the
extent practicable.

Overview of This Information
Collection
All NSF projects are required to use
the FastLane Project Reports System for
developing and submitting annual and
final project reports. If NSF cannot
collect information about undergraduate
participants in undergraduate research
experiences, NSF will have no other
means to consistently document the
number and diversity of participants,
types of participant involvement in the
research, and types of institutions
represented by the participants.
NSF is committed to providing
program stakeholders within formation
regarding the expenditure of taxpayer
funds on these types of experiences that
provide training for postsecondary
students in basic and applied research
in STEM. If NSF must follow the normal
OIRA clearance review process, the
result will be incomplete and
inconsistent information about the
participants who participate in NSFfunded research experiences for
undergraduate students.
Consult With Other Agencies and the
Public
NSF has not consulted with other
agencies but has gathered information
from its grantee community through
attendance at PI conferences. A request
for public comments will be solicited
through announcement of data
collection in the Federal Register.

for agency reporting purposes. If project
participants include undergraduate
students supported by the Research
Experiences for Undergraduates (REU)
Sites Program or by an REU

students are required to complete the
REU Reporting Module.
