Written comments on the
proposal to amend the information
collection request 1245–0003, published
on May 20, 2015 (80 FR 29096), must be
submitted to the office listed in the
addresses section below on or before
August 19, 2015.
ADDRESSES: Andrew R. Davis, Chief of
the Division of Interpretations and
Standards, Office of Labor-Management
Standards, U.S. Department of Labor,
200 Constitution Avenue NW., Room N–
5609, Washington, DC 20210, olmspublic@dol.gov, (202) 693–0123 (this is
not a toll-free number), (800) 877–8339
(TTY/TDD).
Please use only one method of
transmission (mail or submission via
www.regulations.gov using RIN: 1245–
AA06) to submit comments or to request
a copy of this information collection
and its supporting documentation;
including a description of the likely
respondents, proposed frequency of
response, and estimated total burden.
You may also request a copy of this
information collection and its
supporting documentation by sending
an email to olms-public@dol.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the
Federal Register of May 20, 2015 (80 FR
29096), the Department sought public
comments on the proposal to amend
Labor Organization and Auxiliary
Reports information collections
approved under OMB Control Number
1245–0003, specifically the Form LM–3
and LM–4 instructions, to require
mandatory electronic filing of these
reports, as well as modify the Form LM–
2 hardship exemption process to
correspond with that proposed for the
Form LM–3 and LM–4 reports, which
would only permit temporary hardship
exemption submissions, not continuing.
As stated in the notice, the Department
believes that reasonable changes must
be made to the means by which the
forms required under the LaborManagement Reporting and Disclosure
Act (LMRDA) Title II are filed. The most
efficient way to provide meaningful
access to this information by interested
members of the public is to require that
the reports filed by small and mediumsized labor organizations be filed in
electronic form. This change will benefit
the filers, union members, and the
public, as well as the Department.
Interested persons were invited to
submit comments on or before July 20,
2015, 60 days after the publication of
the original notice. A public commenter
has requested a 30-day extension of time
to submit comments. In response to
these requests, the Department has
decided to extend the comment period
for an additional 30 days. Comments on

the proposed information collection
must be received on or before August
19, 2015. An extension of this duration
is appropriate, because it will afford
parties a meaningful opportunity to
submit comments on the proposal
without unduly delaying final action on
the proposed regulation.

NSF provides nearly 20 percent of
federal funding for basic research to
academic institutions.1 The Office of
Legislative and Public Affairs (OLPA)
communicates information about the
activities, programs, research results
and policies of NSF. OLPA employs a
wide variety of tools and techniques to
engage the general public and selected
audiences including Congress, the news
media, state and local governments,
other Federal agencies, and the research
and education communities. To these

ends, OLPA provides support for
innovative new initiatives designed to
increase public engagement and
scientific progress. An important aspect
of scientific progress is the education of
future scientists. Improvements in
science, technology, engineering and
mathematics (STEM) curricula,
particularly changes that engage
students in the process of research and
discovery, have become a focal point for
attracting more students into science.
Undergraduate research is a significant
strategy for improving undergraduate
STEM education.
Community colleges prepare
technicians who will become an integral
part of research efforts and students
who will continue their education at
four-year institutions. Further, they play
a significant role in the preparation of
underrepresented groups in science.
Community colleges have long
recognized the importance of mentoring
students and have a history of success
in educating underrepresented students
for successful careers in STEM. Thus,
community colleges play an important
role in workforce development in their
states and local communities. Industry
frequently looks to community colleges
to provide an educated and
technologically up-to-date workforce.
The National Science Foundation’s
(NSF) thrust of incorporating research
into the traditional teaching mission of
the community college is a relatively
new expansion of its mission. This
challenge furthers NSF’s mission by
enabling students to discover and
demonstrate their capacity to use
science to make a difference in the
world, and to transfer knowledge into
action.
The Office of Legislative and Public
Affairs (OLPA) requests of the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) an
approval for an information collection
intended to monitor outputs, short-term,
intermediate and long term outcomes of
OLPA’s new Community College
Innovation Challenge.
The survey questionnaire,
individually tailored to measure outputs
and outcomes for this initiative, will
provide essential information for
program monitoring purposes. Data
collected by this collection will be used
for program planning, management, and
evaluation. A summary of monitoring
data can be used to respond to queries
from Congress, the public, NSF’s
external merit reviewers who serve as
advisors, including Committees of
Visitors (COVs), and NSF’s Office of the
Inspector General. These data are
needed for effective administration,
program and project monitoring,
evaluation, and for measuring
