Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 84 / Thursday, May 1, 2014 / Notices
made available in print and
electronically on the NSF Web site.
Restricted-use and public use data files
will also be developed.
The survey will be collected in
conformance with the Privacy Act of
1974 and the Confidential Information
Protection and Statistical Efficiency Act
(CIPSEA). Responses from individuals
are voluntary. The NSF will ensure that
all individually identifiable information
collected will be kept strictly
confidential and will be used for
research or statistical purposes,
analyzing data, and preparing scientific
reports and articles.
2. Expected Respondents: There are
four types of respondents to the survey:
Institutional high authority (HA), list
coordinator (LC), ECD contactor (EC),
and individual ECD. The HA, LC, and
EC are involved at the first stage of the
sample survey design. At each
institution, a high authority (HA) will
authorize the institution’s participation
in the study, designate a list coordinator
(LC) and an ECD contactor (EC), and
provide a letter of support for the
survey. The primary responsibility of
the LC is to prepare a list of ECD
employed at the institution. The LC will
provide a list of all ECD, that is,
individuals working at their institution
who earned their first doctorate or
doctorate-equivalent degree within the
past 10 years, including postdocs,
nonfaculty researchers, tenured or
tenure-track faculty members.
In the second stage, the EC will notify
the sampled individual of their
selection and NSF will survey these
individuals. The survey will sample
8,250 ECD from 201 institutions. It is
expected that 80% of the sampled ECD
will participate, yielding 6,600 ECD
respondents.
3. Estimate of Burden: In the
methodological study, HAs required 1
hour on average to complete these tasks
while the LCs required an average of 6
hours to fulfill their duties. Assuming
that 100% of the institutions will
participate, we estimate the total HA
burden to be 201 hours and total burden
for LCs is 1,206 hours. Most ECs were
able to complete this task in less than
30 minutes in the methodological study.
It is expected that 5% of the sampled
institutions will choose to have NSF
contact the ECD directly without
involvement of ECs. We estimate a total
burden of 96 hours for ECs.
NCSES estimates that respondents
will take 30 minutes on average to
complete the questionnaire based on the
time to completion data from the
methodological study. Assuming 6,600
respondents, we estimate the total
burden for ECD to be 3,300 hours.
Taking into account all four
respondent types (HAs, LCs, ECs, and
ECD), we estimate the total respondent
burden to be 4,803 hours. The below
table showed the estimated burden by
stage and respondent type.
