Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 237 / Tuesday, December 10, 2013 / Notices
Commission is required to examine all
laws, policies and practices of the
Federal Government that result in any
direct payment of authorized or
appropriated funds to current and
former members (veteran and retired) of
the uniformed services, including the
reserve components of those services, as
well as the spouses, family members,
children, survivors, and other persons
authorized to receive such payments as
a result of their connection to the
members of these uniformed services
(§ 671(b)(1)(A)) and to seek written
comment from the general public and
interested parties, to hold public
hearings and to examine such other
matters as it considers appropriate
(§ 671(b)(1)(C)).
The Commission considers it essential
to survey the recipients of the
government funding that is the focus of
the statute in order to write the report
due May 1, 2014. The Commission has
designed a survey that measures
preferences for alternative levels and
types of compensation across a broad
cross-section of people either directly or
indirectly benefiting from various forms
of military compensation. In our review
of existing surveys, we have determined
that no available sources cover the
demographic diversity of participants
the Commission would like to cover
using a preference-based approach.
Because the statute requires the
Commission to produce a report by May
1, 2014, the agency cannot comply with
normal clearance procedures for
authorizing a survey and it is requesting
emergency processing.
Respondents: Military Retirees.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
50,000.
Estimated Number of Responses:
5,000.
Frequency of Response: One time.
Average Hours of Response: .5 hours.
Total Estimated Burden: 2,500.

Associate Director, Administration and
Operations.

I. Abstract
Frances Teel,
NASA PRA Clearance Officer.
NASA’s founding legislation, the
Space Act of 1958, as amended, directs
the Agency to expand human
knowledge of Earth and space
phenomena and to preserve the role of
the United States as a leader in
aeronautics, space science, and
technology. The NASA Office of
Education has three primary goals (1)
strengthen NASA and the Nation’s
future workforce, (2) attract and retain
students in science, technology,
engineering and mathematics, or STEM,
disciplines, and (3) engage Americans in
NASA’s mission. This regular clearance
will enable the NASA Office of
Education to fulfill federally mandated
reporting on its education activities and
investments portfolio as well as selected
Agency annual performance indicators.
This information collection will
consist of project activity-level data
submitted by program managers
external to NASA, but who are
responsible for reporting to NASA on
the programs they manage that are
within the NASA investments portfolio.
Pertinent examples of this data include
number of participants, duration of
activity, and institution location of the
activity.

IV. Request for Comments
Comments are invited on: (1) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of NASA, including
whether the information collected has
practical utility; (2) the accuracy of
NASA’s estimate of the burden
(including hours and cost) of the
proposed collection of information; (3)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (4) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including automated
collection techniques or the use of other
forms of information technology.

I. Abstract

Space Act of 1958, as amended, directs
the agency to expand human knowledge
of Earth and space phenomena and to
preserve the role of the United States as
a leader in aeronautics, space science,
and technology. The NASA Office of
Education administers the agency’s
national education activities in support
of the Space Act, including the
performance measurement and
evaluation of educational projects and
programs.
This generic clearance will allow the
NASA Office of Education to test and
pilot with subject matter experts,
secondary students, higher education
students, educators, and interested
parties new and existing information
collection forms and assessment
instruments for the purposes of
improvement and establishing validity
and reliability characteristics of the
forms and instruments. Forms and
instruments to be tested include
program application forms, customer
satisfaction questionnaires, focus group
protocols, and project activity survey
instruments. Methodological testing will
include focus group discussions, pilot
surveys to test new individual question
items as well as the complete form and
instrument. In addition, test-retest and
similar protocols will be used to
determine reliability characteristics of
the forms and instruments.
Methodological testing will assure that
forms and instruments accurately and
consistently collect and measure what
they are intended to measure and that
data collection items are interpreted
precisely and consistently, all towards
the goal of accurate Agency reporting
while improving the execution of NASA
Education project activities.
