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
collection of information; (c) ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information to be collected; (d)
ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents, including through the use
of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology;
and (e) estimates of capital or start-up
costs and costs of operation,
maintenance, and purchase of services
to provide information. Burden means
the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to

In compliance with the
requirement of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
for opportunity for public comment on
proposed data collection projects, the
Office of Extramural Research (OER),
National Institutes of Health (NIH), will
publish periodic summaries of proposed
projects to be submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and approval.
Written comments and/or suggestions
from the public and affected agencies
are invited on one or more of the
following points: (1) Whether the
proposed collection of information is

necessary for the proper performance of
the function of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility; (2) 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; (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 those who are to respond, including
the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.

Research (OER), National Institutes of
Health (NIH).
Need and Use of Information
Collection: The aim of STAR METRICS®
is twofold. The goal of STAR METRICS®
is to continue to provide mechanisms
that will allow participating universities
and federal agencies with a reliable and
consistent means to account for the
number of scientists and staff that are on
research institution payrolls, supported
by federal funds. In subsequent
generations of the program, it is hoped
that STAR METRICS® will allow for
measurement of science impact on
economic outcomes (such as job
creation), on knowledge generation
(such as citations and patents) as well
as on social and health outcomes. We
have completed the initial data input
and this request will finalize the
quarterly data input process.
OMB approval is requested for 1 year.
The annualized cost to respondents is
estimated to be $50,000. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are
1,000.
