ACTION: Notice of proposed extension request. AGENCY: NARA proposes to request an extension from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) of approval to use a consent and authorization form. Requesters use the form to authorize NARA’s Office of Government Information Services (OGIS) to make inquiries on their behalf and to authorize agencies to release information and records related to their Freedom of Information Act/Privacy Act requests/appeals. We invite you to comment on this proposed information collection pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. DATES: We must receive written comments on or before August 22, 2016. ADDRESSES: Send comments to Paperwork Reduction Act Comments (ISSD), Room 4400; National Archives and Records Administration; 8601 Adelphi Road; College Park, MD 20740– 6001, fax them to 301–713–7409, or email them to tamee.fechhelm@ nara.gov. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Contact Tamee Fechhelm by telephone at 301–837–1694 or fax at 301–713– 7409 with requests for additional information or copies of the proposed information collection and supporting statement. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–13), NARA invites the public and other Federal agencies to comment on proposed information collections. The comments and suggestions should address one or more of the following points: (a) Whether the proposed information collection is necessary for NARA to properly perform its functions; (b) NARA’s estimate of the burden of the proposed information asabaliauskas on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:37 Jun 20, 2016 Jkt 238001 collection and its accuracy; (c) ways NARA could enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information it collects; (d) ways NARA could minimize the burden on respondents of collecting the information, including through information technology; and (e) whether this collection affects small businesses. We will summarize any comments you submit and include the summary in our request for OMB approval. All comments will become a matter of public record. In this notice, NARA solicits comments concerning the following information collection: Title: Consent to Make Inquiries and Release of Information and Records. OMB Number: 3095–0068. Agency Form Number: NA Form 10003. Type of Review: Regular. Affected Public: Individuals or households, business or other for-profit, not-for-profit institutions, and Federal Government. Estimated Number of Respondents: 400. Estimated Time per Response: 2 minutes. Frequency of Response: On occasion. Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 13 hours. Abstract: In order to fulfill its Government-wide statutory mission, OGIS provides varying types of assistance to its customers, which requires communicating with Government departments and agencies regarding the customer’s FOIA/Privacy Act request/appeal. Under the Privacy Act, the agencies may not share peoples’ personal information without either a routine use that they inform people of prior to gathering the information, or permission from the involved person. As a result, OGIS uses NA Form 10003 to collect that authorization and the identifying information necessary for the agency to identify the correct files so that OGIS may provide the requested assistance. Without the information submitted in NA Form 10003, OGIS would be unable to fulfill its mission or provide assistance to requesters. Requesters use the NA Form 10003, OGIS Consent to Make Inquiries and Release of Information and Records, to (1) request that OGIS make inquiries on their behalf and (2) authorize agencies to release records and information related to their FOIA and Privacy Act requests and appeals so that OGIS can assist in resolving the dispute or in providing information to the requester. The authority for this information collection is prescribed by 5 U.S.C. 552a(b), and as interpreted by Taylor v. Orr, No. 83–0389, 1983 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 20334, at *6 n.6 (D.D.C. Dec. 5, 1983).

PREMs capitalize on diversity through participation and collaboration in center activities and demonstrate leadership in the involvement of groups underrepresented in science and engineering. PREMs will be required to submit annual reports on progress and plans, which will be used as a basis for performance review and determining the level of continued funding. To support this review and the management of the award PREMs will be required to develop a set of management and performance indicators for submission annually to NSF via the Research Performance Project Reporting module in Research.gov and an external technical assistance contractor that collects programmatic data electronically. These indicators are both quantitative and descriptive and may include, for example, the characteristics of personnel and students; sources of financial support and in-kind support; expenditures by operational component; research activities; education activities; patents, licenses; publications; degrees granted to students involved in PREM activities; descriptions of significant advances and other outcomes of the PREM effort. Each PREM’s annual report will address the following categories of activities: (1) Research, (2) education, (3) knowledge transfer, (4) partnerships, (5) diversity, (6) management, and (7) budget issues. For each of the categories the report will describe overall objectives for the year, problems the PREM has encountered in making progress towards goals, anticipated problems in the following year, and specific outputs and outcomes. PREMs are required to file a final report through the RPPR and external technical assistance contractor.

disciplines, weaving together knowledge creation, knowledge 
integration, and knowledge transfer. PREMs conduct world-class research 
through partnerships of academic institutions, national laboratories, 
industrial organizations, and/or other public/private entities. New 
knowledge thus created is meaningfully linked to society, with an 
emphasis on enhancing diversity.
    PREMs enable and foster excellent education, integrate research and 
education, and create bonds between learning and inquiry so that 
discovery and creativity more fully support the learning process. PREMs 
capitalize on diversity through participation and collaboration in 
center activities and demonstrate leadership in the involvement of 
groups underrepresented in science and engineering.
    PREMs will be required to submit annual reports on progress and 
plans, which will be used as a basis for performance review and 
determining the level of continued funding. To support this review and

quantitative and descriptive and may include, for example, the 
characteristics of personnel and students; sources of financial support 
and in-kind support; expenditures by operational component; research 
activities; education activities; patents, licenses; publications; 
degrees granted to students involved in PREM activities; descriptions 
of significant advances and other outcomes of the PREM effort.
    Each PREM's annual report will address the following categories of 
activities: (1) Research, (2) education, (3) knowledge transfer, (4) 
partnerships, (5) diversity, (6) management, and (7) budget issues.
    For each of the categories the report will describe overall 
objectives for the year, problems the PREM has encountered in making 
progress towards goals, anticipated problems in the following year, and 
specific outputs and outcomes.
    PREMs are required to file a final report through the RPPR and 
external technical assistance contractor. Final reports contain similar 
information and metrics as annual reports, but are retrospective.
    Use of the Information: NSF will use the information to continue 
funding of PREMs, and to evaluate the progress of the program.
    Estimate of Burden: 25 hours per PREM for 12 PREMs for a total of 
300 hours.
    Respondents: Non-profit institutions.
    Estimated Number of Responses per Report: One from each of the
