SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title of Collection: Presidential
Awards for Excellence in Mathematics
and Science Teaching (PAEMST), State
Coordinator (SC) Survey.
OMB Number: 3145—NEW.
Expiration Date of Approval: Not
Applicable.
Type of request: NEW.
Abstract: The PAEMST is a White
House program established by Congress
in 1983 authorizing the President to
bestow up to 108 awards each year to
teachers of mathematics and science at
the elementary and secondary levels.
The NSF is the designated federal
agency for administration of this
Presidential program. Awards are given
to mathematics and science (including
computer science) teachers from each of
the 50 states and four U.S. jurisdictions.
The jurisdictions are Washington DC;
Puerto Rico; Department of Defense
Education Activity schools; and the U.S.
territories as a group (American Samoa,
Guam, the Commonwealth of the
Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S.
Virgin Islands). The award recognizes
those teachers who develop and
implement a high-quality instructional
program that is informed by content
knowledge and enhances student
learning. Since the program’s inception,
more than 4,300 teachers have been
recognized for their contributions in the
classroom and to their profession.
Awardees serve as models for their
colleagues, inspiration to their
communities, and leaders in the
improvement of mathematics and
science (including computer science)
education.
The State Coordinator (SC) manages
the PAEMST program within his or her
state or jurisdiction. SCs recruit eligible
nominees, select and assign mentors to
nominees, coordinate the selection
committee, and plan local recognition
events within their State. They also
carry out the responsibilities as noted in
the ‘‘Operational Handbook for StateLevel Science and Mathematics
Coordinators.’’
The purpose of this survey is to seek
feedback from the 120 SCs regarding
PAEMST management within their state
or jurisdiction. The NSF, PAEMST
support team will ask directed questions
using the survey to gather information
that may specifically address the
methods and recruitment efforts that
SCs use to support the attracting of
E:\FR\FM\30APN1.SGM
30APN1
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 83 / Thursday, April 30, 2015 / Notices
prospective award nominees.
Additional survey areas may also
include:
• Applicant Mentoring
• Mentor Training
• State selection Committee
• State selection Process
• Applicant and State Finalist
Notification and Recognition
• In-kind contributions
The survey will evaluate the impact
SCs have on attracting prospective
award nominees to PAEMST. This will
be conducted as a Web-based survey.
Estimate of Burden: Public reporting
burden for this collection of information
is estimated to average 30–40 minutes
for State Coordinators.
Respondents: Individuals.
Estimated Number of Responses per
Form: 120 Coordinators.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 80 hours (120
Coordinators at 40 minutes per survey =
80 hours).
Frequency of Response: One per
application cycle.
Comments: Comments are invited on
(a) whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the PAEMST functions,
including whether the information shall
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of
the NSF’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;
(d) ways to 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.

not an environmental impact statement
or a supplement to an environmental
impact statement is prepared during the
review of its application. On February 5,
2015, in accordance with 10 CFR
2.101(a)(5), NWMI submitted the
following in part one of the construction
permit application:
• the description and safety
assessment of the site required by 10
CFR 50.34(a)(1),
• the environmental report required
by 10 CFR 50.30(f),
• the filing fee information required

• the general information required by
10 CFR 50.33, and
• the agreement limiting access to
classified information required by 10
CFR 50.37.
As stated in NWMI’s February 5,
2015, letter, part two of NWMI’s
application for a construction permit
will contain the remainder of the
preliminary safety analysis report
required by 10 CFR 50.34(a) and will be
submitted in accordance with the
requirements of 10 CFR 2.101(a)(5).
Subsequent Federal Register notices
will address the acceptability of this
part of the tendered construction permit
application for docketing and provisions
for public participation in the
construction permit application review
process.
