Title: Federal Credit Union Bylaws.
Abstract: Section 108 of the Federal
Credit Union (FCU) Act (12 U.S.C. 1758)
requires the National Credit Union
Administration (NCUA) Board to
prepare bylaws before an FCU’s charter
is complete. The form bylaws are
established to simplify the organization
of a FCU and establish uniformity
regarding FCU operations and member
rights. The NCUA Board adopted the
Bylaws and incorporated them into
NCUA’s regulations at 12 CFR 701.2 and
as Appendix A to Part 701, in 2007. The
bylaws address a broad range of matters
concerning: an FCU’s organization and
governance; the FCU’s relationship to
members; and the procedures and rules
an FCU follows. The NCUA uses the
information both to regulate FCUs to
protect consumers and monitor their
safety and soundness to protect the
National Credit Union Share Insurance
Fund.
Affected Public: Private Sector: Notfor-profit institutions.

Expiration Date of Approval: August
31, 2018.
Type of Request: Intent to seek
approval to extend an information
collection for three years.
Abstract: The Survey of Doctorate
Recipients (SDR) has been conducted
biennially since 1973 and is a
longitudinal survey. The 2017 SDR will
consist of a sample of individuals less
than 76 years of age who have earned
a research doctoral degree in a science,
engineering or health (SEH) field from a
U.S. institution. The purpose of this
panel survey is to collect data that will
be used to provide national estimates on
the doctoral science and engineering
workforce and changes in their
employment, education and
demographic characteristics. The SDR is
sponsored by the National Center for
Science and Engineering Stataistics
(NCSES) within the NSF and the
National Institutes of Health. Data will
be obtained by web survey, mail
questionnaire, and computer-assisted
telephone interviews beginning in
February 2017. Information from the
SDR are used in assessing the quality
and supply of the nation’s SEH
personnel resources for educational
institutions, private industry, and
professional organizations, as well as
federal, state, and local governments. A
public release file of the collected data,
designed to protect respondent
confidentiality, will be made available
to researchers, reporters, and other
interested persons on the Internet.
The National Science Foundation Act
of 1950, as subsequently amended,
includes a statutory charge to ‘‘. . .
provide a central clearinghouse for the
collection, interpretation, and analysis
of data on scientific and engineering
resources, and to provide a source of
information for policy formulation by
other agencies of the Federal
Government.’’ The SDR is designed to
comply with these mandates by
providing information on the supply
and utilization of the nation’s doctoral
level scientists and engineers.
The survey data will be collected in
conformance with the Confidential
Information Protection and Statistical
Efficiency Act of 2002 and the
individual’s response to the survey is
voluntary. NSF will ensure that all
information collected will be kept
strictly confidential and will be used
only for statistical purposes.
Use of the Information: The NSF uses
the information from the SDR to prepare
congressionally mandated reports such
as Women, Minorities and Persons with
Disabilities in Science and Engineering
and Science and Engineering Indicators.

These two reports are made available, in
full, on the internet. However, summary
Digests of facts and figures from these
lengthy reports are made available both
in print and online. Although NSF
publishes statistics from the SDR in
many reports, a full report with over 80
tables is produced online in the biennial
series, Characteristics of Scientists and
Engineers with U.S. Doctorates.
Expected Respondents. The NCSES
within NSF enhanced and expanded the
sample for the prior 2015 cycle of the
SDR to measure employment outcomes
according to the eligible SEH fine fields
of degree captured in the Survey of
Earned Doctorates. Providing reliable
estimates by fine fields required
expanding the 2013 SDR sample from
approximately 47,000 to 120,000 in
2015. Another effect of expanding the
2015 SDR sample is the enhanced
production of reliable estimates of SEH
fine fields by various demographic
characteristics, such as gender,
ethnicity, and race. The 2017 SDR will
maintain the 2015 expanded sample
along with a new sample of about
10,000 doctorates from the most recent
2014 and 2015 academic years and will
not exceed 123,000 individuals in total
with U.S. earned doctorates in SEH
fields. NSF expects the overall 2017
SDR response rate to be approximately
75 percent.
Estimate of Burden. The amount of
time to complete the questionnaire may
vary depending on an individual’s
circumstances; however, on average it
takes approximately 25 minutes. Thus,
NSF estimates that the total annual
burden for the 2017 SDR will be 38,438
hours (that is, 123,000 respondents at
75% response rate for 25 minutes).
