NASA Advisory Council; Science Committee; Earth Science Subcommittee; Meeting, 26777-26778 [2014-10659]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 90 / Friday, May 9, 2014 / Notices ehiers on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES II. Special Issues for Comment OSHA has a particular interest in comments on the following issues: • Whether the proposed information collection requirements are necessary for the proper performance of the Agency’s functions, including whether the information is useful; • The accuracy of OSHA’s estimate of the burden (time and costs) of the information collection requirements, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; • The quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; and • Ways to minimize the burden on employers who must comply; for example, by using automated or other technological information collection and transmission techniques. III. Proposed Actions OSHA is proposing to decrease the existing burden hour estimate of the collection of information requirements specified by the Standard. In this regard, the Agency is proposing to decrease the current burden hour estimate from 888,244 hours to 393,702 hours, a total decrease of 494,542 hours. The reason for this reduction is the removal of burden hours associated with the requirement that employers provide training to workers. Upon further analysis, OSHA has determined that these training provision is not considered to be a collection of information under PRA–95. In addition, the Agency was able to gather data updating the number of trucks and operators. The Agency will summarize the comments submitted in response to this notice and will include this summary in the request to OMB. Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection. Title: Powered Industrial Trucks (29 CFR 1910.178). OMB Control Number: 1218–0242. Affected Public: Business or other forprofits. Number of Respondents: 1,106,552. Number of Responses: 2,206,464. Frequency of Reponses: On occasion; annually; triennially. Average Time per Response: Ranges from two minutes (.03 hour) to mark an approved truck to 30 minutes (.50 hour) to perform an evaluation. Estimated Total Burden Hours: 393,702. Estimated Cost (Operation and Maintenance): $232,365. IV.

ACTION: Request for Comment Notice. AGENCY: The National Science Foundation (NSF) is announcing plans to request renewed clearance of this collection. The primary purpose of this revision is to implement 2 CFR part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). NSF has requested and received from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval to implement the Uniform Guidance through NSF’s longstanding practice of implementing these requirements via use of a policy rather than regulation. In conjunction with the terms and conditions of the award, the Proposal and Award Policies and Procedures Guide (PAPPG), and its predecessors, have served as NSF’s ehiers on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: VerDate Mar<15>2010 14:53 May 08, 2014 Jkt 232001 implementation vehicle for OMB Circular A–110 since its initial issuance in 1976. The draft NSF PAPPG is now available for your review and consideration on the NSF Web site at https://www.nsf.gov/bfa/dias/policy/. To facilitate review, text has been highlighted in yellow throughout the document that implements the Uniform Guidance. Inclusion of this highlighting appears in the following cases: • Use of specific references to the Uniform Guidance; • Direct replication of text from the Uniform Guidance; and • NSF’s implementation of requirements from the Uniform Guidance that are imposed on agencies. NSF is formally requesting deviations from OMB from the Uniform Guidance in only two areas: • Limitation to two months salary compensation for faculty; and • Alternative to the Federal Financial Report. Also highlighted throughout are policy changes that are being made independent of the Foundation’s implementation of the Uniform Guidance. These changes are highlighted in blue. In accordance with the requirement of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, we are providing opportunity for public comment on the PAPPG. NSF is particularly interested in public comment on NSF’s implementation of 2 CFR part 200, as well as the policy changes that are identified in the PAPPG. Comments regarding the content of 2 CFR part 200 should not be submitted, as the Uniform Guidance was formally issued by OMB as final guidance on December 26, 2013 (see https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR2013-12-26/pdf/2013-30465.pdf). After obtaining and considering public comment, NSF will prepare the submission requesting OMB clearance of this collection for no longer than 3 years. In addition to the type of comments identified above, comments also are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Agency, including 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; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including through the use PO 00000 Frm 00069 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology. DATES: Written comments should be received by July 8, 2014 to be assured of consideration. Comments received after that date will be considered to the extent practicable. 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. The draft NSF Proposal and Award Policies and Procedures Guide may be found at: https://www.nsf.gov/bfa/dias/policy/. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Suzanne Plimpton on (703) 292–7556 or send email to splimpto@nsf.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title of Collection: ‘‘National Science Foundation Proposal/Award Information—NSF Proposal and Award Policies and Procedures Guide’’. OMB Approval Number: 3145–0058. Expiration Date of Approval: July 31, 2015. Type of Request: Intent to seek approval to extend with revision an information collection for three years. Proposed Project: The National Science Foundation Act of 1950 (Pub. L. 81–507) sets forth NSF’s mission and purpose: To promote the progress of science; to advance the national health, prosperity, and welfare; to secure the national defense. . . . The Act authorized and directed NSF to initiate and support: • Basic scientific research and research fundamental to the engineering process; • Programs to strengthen scientific and engineering research potential; • Science and engineering education programs at all levels and in all the various fields of science and engineering; • Programs that provide a source of information for policy formulation; and • Other activities to promote these ends. NSF’s core purpose resonates clearly in everything it does: Promoting achievement and progress in science and engineering and enhancing the potential for research and education to E:\FR\FM\09MYN1.SGM 09MYN1
