SUMMARY:
VerDate Sep<11>2014
14:09 Mar 13, 2015
This ICR
seeks approval under the PRA for
revisions to the National Compensation
Survey information collection. Under
the National Compensation Survey
(NCS), the BLS conducts ongoing
surveys of compensation and job
characteristics. Data collected by the
NCS are used to produce Employment
Cost Trends, including the Employment
Cost Index (ECI) and Employer Costs for
Employee Compensation (ECEC),
employee benefits data, and data used
by the President’s Pay Agent. This
information collection has been
classified as a revision, because of the
NCS transition to a 3-year collection
cycle. Under this cycle design for NCS,
most private industry establishments
only will be in the sample for 3 years
compared to previously being in the
survey 5 years. The Federal Employees
Pay Comparability Act of 1990, Ethics
Reform Act of 1989, and Bureau of
Labor Statistics Enabling Statute
authorize this collection. See 5 U.S.C.
5304, 5318, and 29 U.S.C. 2b.
This information collection is subject
to the PRA. A Federal agency generally
cannot conduct or sponsor a collection
of information, and the public is
generally not required to respond to an
information collection, unless it is
approved by the OMB under the PRA
and displays a currently valid OMB
Control Number. In addition,
notwithstanding any other provisions of
law, no person shall generally be subject
to penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information that does not
display a valid Control Number. See 5
CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL
obtains OMB approval for this
information collection under Control
Number 1220–0164. The current
approval is scheduled to expire on April
30, 2015; however, the DOL notes that
existing information collection
requirements submitted to the OMB
receive a month-to-month extension
while they undergo review. New
requirements would only take effect
upon OMB approval. For additional
substantive information about this ICR,
see the related notice published in the
Federal Register on November 5, 2014
(79 FR 65706).
Interested parties are encouraged to
send comments to the OMB, Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs at
the address shown in the ADDRESSES
section within thirty (30) days of

publication of this notice in the Federal
Register. In order to help ensure
appropriate consideration, comments
should mention OMB Control Number
1220–0164. The OMB is particularly
interested in comments that:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
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; and
• 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 submission of
responses.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Proposed Project
The National Science Foundation Act
of 1950 (Pub. L. 81–507) set 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.
Among Federal agencies, NSF is a
leader in providing the academic
community with advanced
instrumentation needed to conduct
state-of-the-art research and to educate
the next generation of scientists,
engineers and technical workers. The
knowledge generated by these tools
sustains U.S. leadership in science and
engineering (S&E) to drive the U.S.
economy and secure the future. NSF’s
responsibility is to ensure that the
research and education communities
have access to these resources, and to
provide the support needed to utilize
them optimally, and implement timely
upgrades.
The scale of advanced
instrumentation ranges from small
research instruments to shared
resources or facilities that can be used
by entire communities. The demand for
such instrumentation is very high, and
is growing rapidly, along with the pace
of discovery. For large facilities and
shared infrastructure, the need is
particularly high. This trend is expected
to accelerate in the future as increasing
numbers of researchers and educators
rely on such large facilities,
