Aaron Siegel, Alternate OSD Federal Register Liaison Officer, Department of Defense. DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE editions of the STANAG. NATO STANAG 4703 contains a set of technical airworthiness requirements intended for the airworthiness certification of fixed-wing light military UAS with a maximum take-off weight not greater than 150 kg that intend to regularly operate in non-segregated airspace over all population densities. These requirements represent the minimum acceptable airworthiness requirements for design and construction of military fixed-wing UAS intended to operate in non-segregated airspace. STANAG 4703 is intended to be implemented for airworthiness certification of Light UAS within each nation’s national regulatory framework. Interested participant POC information will be forwarded to the STANAG 4703 CST Chairman by the STANAG 4703 U.S. Head of Delegation. A copy of STANAG 4703 will be provided to interested participants once the POC information is received by the U.S. Delegation. The intent of this effort is to collect comments from NATO member Fixed Wing UAS Industries, to disposition the comments, and at a future date hold an Industry Day to discuss industry comments provided in an open forum. Keywords: Fixed Wing, Light, UAS, UAV, Remotely Piloted Vehicle, Unmanned Aircraft, Unmanned Air Vehicle, Unmanned Aircraft Systems, Unmanned Air System, Airworthiness. Office of the Secretary DATES: Invitation to Unmanned Aircraft Industry for Review and Comment Period on Edition 1 of NATO Standardization Agreement (STANAG) 4703 Light Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Airworthiness Requirements (AEP–83) FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: DELETION: JS006CND Department of Defense Counternarcotics C4I System (February 22, 1993, 58 FR 10557). REASON: Based on a recent review of JS006CND, Department of Defense Counternarcotics C4I System, it has been confirmed that this system of records transferred from the Joint Staff to the Defense Information System Agency (DISA) in 1993. All records that were housed at the JS have been destroyed according to the National Archives and Records Administration 10-year disposition schedule. Since the transfer to DISA, they provide all required reporting in terms of information assurance, programmatic, and budgeting. The remaining applications hosted by the system at DISA do not collect personally identifiable information; therefore, the Department of Defense Counternarcotics C4I System of Records Notice can be deleted.

Title of Collection: 2016–17 Baccalaureate and Beyond Longitudinal Study (B&B:16/17) Field Test Data Collection. OMB Control Number: 1850–0729. Type of Review: A reinstatement of a previously approved information collection. Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals or Households. Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 4,417. Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 977. Abstract: This request is for the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) to conduct a field test of the 2016/17 Baccalaureate and Beyond Longitudinal Study (B&B:16/17). The B&B studies of the education, work, financial, and personal experiences of individuals who have completed a bachelor’s degree at a given point in time are a series of longitudinal studies. Every 8 years, students are identified as bachelor’s degree recipients through the National Postsecondary Student Aid Study (NPSAS). B&B:16/17 is the first follow-up of a panel of baccalaureate degree recipients identified in the 2015– 16 NPSAS, and part of the fourth cohort (B&B:16) of the B&B series. The primary purposes of the B&B studies are to describe the post-baccalaureate paths of new college graduates, with a focus on their experiences in the labor market and post-baccalaureate education, and their education-related debt. B&B also focuses on the continuing education paths of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) graduates, as well as the experiences of those who have begun careers in education of students through the 12th grade. Since graduating from college in 2014–15 for the field test, and 2015–16 for the full-scale study, members of this B&B:16 cohort will begin moving into and out of the workforce, enrolling in additional undergraduate and graduate education, forming families, and VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:14 Feb 02, 2016 Jkt 238001 repaying undergraduate educationrelated debt. Documenting these choices and pathways, along with individual, institutional, and employment characteristics that may be related to those choices, provides critical information on the costs and benefits of a bachelor’s degree in today’s workforce. B&B studies include both traditional-age and non-traditional-age college graduates, whose education options and choices often diverge considerably, and allow study of the paths taken by these different graduates. The results of this field test will inform the B&B:16/17 fullscale data collection. Dated: January 28, 2016.

    Type of Review: A reinstatement of a previously approved

    Abstract: This request is for the National Center for Education 
Statistics (NCES) to conduct a field test of the 2016/17 Baccalaureate 
and Beyond Longitudinal Study (B&B:16/17). The B&B studies of the 
education, work, financial, and personal experiences of individuals who 
have completed a bachelor's degree at a given point in time are a 
series of longitudinal studies. Every 8 years, students are identified 
as bachelor's degree recipients through the National Postsecondary 
Student Aid Study (NPSAS). B&B:16/17 is the first follow-up of a panel 
of baccalaureate degree recipients identified in the 2015-16 NPSAS, and 
part of the fourth cohort (B&B:16) of the B&B series. The primary 
purposes of the B&B studies are to describe the post-baccalaureate 
paths of new college graduates, with a focus on their experiences in 
the labor market and post-baccalaureate education, and their education-
related debt. B&B also focuses on the continuing education paths of 
science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) graduates, as 
well as the experiences of those who have begun careers in education of 
students through the 12th grade. Since graduating from college in 2014-
15 for the field test, and 2015-16 for the full-scale study, members of 
this B&B:16 cohort will begin moving into and out of the workforce, 
enrolling in additional undergraduate and graduate education, forming 
families, and repaying undergraduate education-related debt. 
Documenting these choices and pathways, along with individual, 
institutional, and employment characteristics that may be related to 
those choices, provides critical information on the costs and benefits 
of a bachelor's degree in today's workforce. B&B studies include both 
traditional-age and non-traditional-age college graduates, whose 
education options and choices often diverge considerably, and allow 
study of the paths taken by these different graduates. The results of 
this field test will inform the B&B:16/17 full-scale data collection.
