SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title of Collection: 2013 Survey of Doctorate Recipients. OMB Approval Number: 3145–0020. Type of Request: Intent to seek approval to reinstate an information collection for three years. 1. Abstract. The Survey of Doctorate Recipients (SDR) has been conducted biennially since 1973 and is a longitudinal survey. The 2013 SDR will consist of a sample of individuals less than 76 years of age who have earned a research doctoral degree in a science, engineering or health field from a U.S. VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:11 Sep 19, 2012 Jkt 226001 institution. The purpose of this longitudinal panel survey is to collect data that will be used to provide national estimates on the U.S.-educated doctoral science and engineering workforce and changes in their employment, education and demographic characteristics. The SDR is one of the 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 2013 SDR will provide necessary input into the SESTAT. 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. The NSF uses the information from the SDR to prepare congressionally mandated reports such as Women, Minorities and Persons with Disabilities in Science and Engineering and Science and Engineering Indicators. The NSF publishes statistics from the SDR in many reports, but primarily in the biennial series, Characteristics of Doctoral Scientists and Engineers in the United States. A public release file of collected data, designed to protect respondent confidentiality, also will be made available to researchers on the Internet. The survey data collection will begin in February 2013 by web survey, mail questionnaire, and computer-assisted telephone interview. The survey will be collected in conformance with the Confidential Information Protection and Statistical Efficiency Act of 2002, and the individual’s response to the survey is voluntary. NSF will ensure that all information collected will be kept strictly confidential and will be used only for statistical purposes. 2. Expected Respondents. A statistical sample of approximately 47,000 individuals with U.S.-earned doctorates in science, engineering or health will be contacted in 2013. This sample will include approximately 40,000 individuals residing in the U.S. (national component) and 7,000 residing abroad (international component). NSF expects the response rate to be 70 to 80 percent for both the national and international components. PO 00000 Frm 00062 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 58415 3. Estimate of Burden. 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. NSF estimates that the annual burden will be 13,333 hours for the national component and 2,333 hours for the international component. Thus, NSF estimates that the total annual burden for both components will be 15,667 hours. Dated: September 17, 2012. Suzanne H. Plimpton, Reports Clearance Officer, National Science Foundation.
