Notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The National Science
Foundation (NSF) is announcing plans
to request renewal of this collection. In
accordance with the requirement of
section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–13),

that OMB approve clearance of this
collection for three years.
DATES: Written comments on this notice
must be received by March 11, 2013 to
be assured of consideration. Comments
received after that date will be
considered to the extent practicable.
SUMMARY:
FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION OR
COMMENTS: Contact Suzanne H.
Plimpton, Reports Clearance Officer,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title of Collection: Higher Education
Research and Development Survey.
OMB Control Number: 3145–0100.

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 5 / Tuesday, January 8, 2013 / Notices
Expiration Date of Current Approval:
October 31, 2013.
Proposed Renewal Project: The Higher
Education Research and Development
Survey (formerly known as the Survey
of Research and Development
Expenditures at Universities and
Colleges) originated in fiscal year (FY)
1954 and has been conducted annually
since FY 1972. The survey is the
academic research and development
component of the NSF statistical
program that seeks to provide a ‘‘central
clearinghouse for the collection,
interpretation, and analysis of data on
the availability of, and the current and
projected need for, scientific and
technical resources in the United States,
and to provide a source of information
for policy formulation by other agencies
of the federal government,’’ as mandated
by the America COMPETES
Reauthorization Act of 2010 § 505,
codified in the National Science
Foundation Act of 1950, as amended. In
recent years, NSF redesigned and
expanded the survey to better reflect the
current state of academic R&D. The
redesigned survey was renamed the
Higher Education R&D Survey and pilot
tested with a random sample of 40
institutions during the FY 2009 survey
cycle. The revised survey began for all
institutions with the FY 2010 cycle.
Use of the Information: The proposed
project will continue the annual survey
cycle for three years. The FY 2013
Higher Education R&D Survey will be
administered to an expected minimum
of 660 institutions. In addition, a shorter
version of the survey asking for R&D
expenditures by source of funding and
broad field will be sent to
approximately 325 institutions spending
under $1 million on R&D in their
previous fiscal year. Finally, a survey
requesting R&D expenditures by source
of funds, cost categories (salaries,
indirect costs, equipment, etc.), and
character of work (basic research,
applied research, or development) will
be administered to the 39 Federally
Funded Research and Development
Centers.
The Higher Education R&D Survey
will provide continuity of statistics on
R&D expenditures by source of funding
and field of research, with separate data
requested on current fund expenditures
for research equipment by field. Further
breakdowns are collected on funds
passed through to subrecipients and
funds received as a subrecipient, and on
R&D expenditures by field from specific
federal agency sources. As of FY 2010,
the survey also requests total R&D
expenditures funded from foreign
sources, R&D within an institution’s
medical school, clinical trial

expenditures, R&D by type of funding
mechanism (contracts vs. grants), R&D
funded by the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009, and R&D by
cost category (salaries, equipment,
software, etc.). The survey also requests
headcounts of principal investigators
and other personnel paid from R&D
funds, as well as a separate count of
postdocs working on R&D.
Data are published in NSF’s annual
publication series Higher Education
Research and Development and are
available electronically on the World
Wide Web.
The survey is a fully automated Web
data collection effort and is handled
primarily by administrators in
university sponsored programs and
accounting offices. To minimize burden,
institutions are provided with an
abundance of guidance and resources on
the Web, and are able to respond via a
downloadable excel spreadsheet if
desired. Each institution’s record is preloaded with the 2 previous years of
comparable data that facilitate editing
and trend checking. Response to this
voluntary survey has exceeded 95
percent each year.
The average burden report for the FY
2011 survey was 50 hours for
institutions reporting over $1 million in
R&D expenditures and 14 hours for
those reporting less than $1 million. The
burden estimate for the FFRDC survey is
6 hours.
Dated: January 3, 2013.
