ensure that the interviews actually took
place and interviewers are reading the
questions exactly as worded and
entering the responses properly.
Recording also helps to identify parts of
the interview that might be causing
problems or misunderstanding for
interviewers or respondents. Each
respondent will be informed that the
interview may be recorded for quality
control, testing, and training purposes.
If the respondent objects to the
recording of the interview, the
interviewer will confirm to the
respondent that the interview will not
be recorded and then proceed with the
interview.
The round 17 questionnaire will
resemble the round 16 questionnaire
with few modifications. The round 17
questionnaire proposes an experiment
to investigate the efficacy of preloads in
bounding the respondents’ recall of
migration dates. This experiment will
allow us to build a body of knowledge
about the feasibility of web
questionnaire administration, which
may require fielding questions without
preloads. The results will give us some
insight into the impact of removing
these preloads on data quality.
New questions include respondents’
business ownership, new wage
bargaining questions, questions about
nonresident children, one question
about medical debt and mental health
scale questions. Round 17 also
reintroduced the child care long section,
parent supportiveness, ‘‘whom do you
turn to’’, alcohol and drug use, and
health behaviors questions from
previous rounds.
As in prior rounds of the NLSY97,
round 17 will include a pretest
conducted several months before the
main fielding to test survey procedures
and questions and resolve problems
before the main fielding begins.
III. Desired Focus of Comments
The Bureau of Labor Statistics is
particularly interested in comments
that:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
Total
respondents
Form
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility.
• Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used.
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected.
• Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.

* The difference between the total number of respondents and the total number of responses reflects the fact that about 7,200 are expected to
complete the main interview. In addition, about 144 respondents will be interviewed twice, once in the main survey and a second time in the 4minute validation interview. We estimate achieving about 1,200 web updates; most of these will be from respondents who also complete the
main interview, but a small number (perhaps 50) may complete only the web update and not also the main interview.
Total Burden Cost (capital/startup):
$0.
Total Burden Cost (operating/
maintenance): $0.
Comments submitted in response to
this notice will be summarized and/or
included in the request for Office of
Management and Budget approval of the
information collection request; they also
will become a matter of public record.

Notice of Information Collection
National Aeronautics and

ACTION: Notice of information collection.
AGENCY:
The National Aeronautics and
Space Administration, as part of its
continuing effort to reduce paperwork
and respondent burden, invites the
general public and other Federal
agencies to take this opportunity to
comment on proposed and/or
continuing information collections, as
required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–13, 44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A)).
DATES: All comments should be
submitted within 30 calendar days from
December 8, 2014.

Desk Officer for NASA.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Requests for additional information or

I. Abstract
NASA’s founding legislation, the

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 Office of Education to test and
pilot with subject matter experts, 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
and cognitive interview 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, split-half
methodology 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.
This 30-day FRN reflects a reduction
in the estimated number of respondents,
as published in the 60-day FRN, Volume
78, Number 237, pages 74169–74170 on
Tuesday, December 10, 2013. The
targeted respondent pool will include
educators, pre-college, undergraduate,
graduate, and post-graduate students
only. As a result of this reduction, the
estimated cost burden also decreased.
The cost burden reflects the estimated
amount of time it will take for
respondents to read the instructions,
gather and submit the information. This
30-day notice also replaces FRN Notice
14–121, Volume 79, Number 225, pages
69537–69538 published on Friday,
November 21, 2014 which incorrectly
identified secondary students as part of
the respondent pool.

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.

reduction, the estimated cost burden also decreased. The cost burden
reflects the estimated amount of time it will take for respondents to
read the instructions, gather and submit the information. This 30-day
notice also replaces FRN Notice 14-121, Volume 79, Number 225, pages
