Title: Emergency Beacon
Registrations.
OMB Control Number: 0648–0295.
Form Number(s): NA.
Type of Request: Regular submission
(extension of a current information
collection).
Number of Respondents: 234,386.
Average Hours per Response: 15
minutes.
Burden Hours: 58,597.
Needs and Uses: This request is for
extension of a currently approved
information collection.
An international system exists to use
satellites to detect and locate ships,
aircraft, and individuals in distress if
they are equipped with an emergency
radio beacon. Persons purchasing a
digital distress beacon, operating in the
frequency range of 406.000 to 406.100
MHz, must register it with NOAA.
These requirements are contained in
Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) regulations at 47 CFR 80.1061, 47
CFR 87.199 and 47 CFR 95.1402. The
data provided by registration can assist
in identifying who is in distress and in
suppression of false alarms.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households.
Frequency: Biannually.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
This information collection request
may be viewed at reginfo.gov. Follow

Comment Request
The Department of Commerce (DOC)
will submit to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) for clearance the
following proposal for collection of
information under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35).
Agency: Bureau of Economic Analysis
(BEA), Commerce.
Title: Expenditures Incurred by
Recipients of Biomedical Research
Awards from the National Institutes of
Health (NIH).
OMB Control Number: 0608–0069.
Form Number: None.
Type of Request: Regular submission
(extension of a currently approved
information collection).
Number of Respondents: 120.
Average Hours per Response: 16
hours is the average, but may vary
among respondents because of
differences in institution structure, size,
and complexity.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 1,920 hours.
Needs and Uses: The survey obtains
the distribution of expenditures
incurred by recipients of biomedical
research awards from the National
Institutes of Health (NIH) and will
provide information on how the NIH
award amounts are expended across
several major categories. This
information, along with wage and price
data from other published sources, will
be used to generate the Biomedical
Research and Development Price Index
(BRDPI). The Bureau of Economic
Analysis (BEA) of the Department of
Commerce develops this index for NIH
under a reimbursable contract. The
BRDPI is an index of prices paid for the
labor, supplies, equipment, and other
inputs required to perform the
biomedical research the NIH supports in
its intramural laboratories and through
its awards to extramural organizations.
The BRDPI is a vital tool for planning
the NIH research budget and analyzing
future NIH programs. A survey of award
recipients is currently the only means
for updating the expenditure categories
weights that are used to prepare the
BRDPI.
A survey questionnaire with a cover
letter that includes a brief description

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 153 / Friday, August 8, 2014 / Notices
of, and rationale for, the survey will be
sent to potential respondents by the first
week of October in 2014 and by August
of 2015 and 2016. A report of the
respondent’s expenditures of the NIH
award amounts, including NIH awards
received as a sub-recipient from another
institution, following the proposed
format for expenditure categories
attached to the survey’s cover letter, will
be requested to be returned no later than
December 8, which in most years will be
approximately 120 days after mailing.
Survey respondents will be selected on
the basis of award levels, which
determine the weight of the respondent
in the biomedical research and
development price index. BEA proposes
to survey 150 organizations that receive
NIH biomedical research awards. This
will include the top 100 organizations
in total awards received; 40 additional
organizations that are not primarily in
the ‘‘Research and Development (R&D)
contracts’’ category; and 10 additional
organizations that are primarily in the
‘‘R&D contracts’’ category. Based on
awards data for FY 2009 by type of
organization, the top 100 organizations
received $16.2 billion in awards
(approximately 73 percent of total
awards); the remaining awards-receiving
organizations received $6.0 billion.
Affected Public: Universities or other
organizations that are NIH award
recipients.
Frequency: Annual.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: 45 CFR subpart C, PostAward Requirements, sections 74.21 and
74.53; 42 U.S.C. 282; Economy Act (31 U.S.C.
