mstockstill on DSK30JT082PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 69 / Wednesday, April 12, 2017 / Notices
be obtained by web, mail, and
computer-assisted telephone interviews
beginning in June 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 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 Federal
Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of
2015. 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: 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 on the Internet. Although
NSF publishes statistics from the SDR in
many reports, a set of statistical tables
is produced online by NCSES in the
biennial publication of SDR Data Tables.
Expected Respondents: The NCSES
within NSF enhanced and expanded the
sample for the 2015 cycle of the SDR to
measure employment outcomes
according to the eligible SEH fine fields
of degree, as captured in the Survey of
Earned Doctorates. Providing reliable
estimates of the survey population by
fine fields required refreshing the 2013
survey sample of approximately 47,000
in 2013 with a larger sample of 120,000
in 2015. With the expanded 2015 SDR
sample, NCSES can produce reliable
estimates of SEH fine fields by
demographic characteristics, such as
gender, ethnicity, and race. The 2017
VerDate Sep<11>2014

SDR will maintain the 2015 expanded
sample and add about 11,000 doctorates
from the most recent 2014 and 2015
academic years for a total of 124,580
cases. NSF expects the overall response
rate to be 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 38,932
hours (that is, 124,580 respondents at
75% response rate for 25 minutes).
Comment: On 19 September 2016,
NSF published in the Federal Register
(81 FR 2016–64206) a 60-day notice of
its intent to request renewal of this
information collection authority from
OMB. In that notice, NSF solicited
public comments for 60 days ending 18
November 2016. One public comment
was received, in support of renewing
the SDR and ‘‘releasing the survey data
in a more timely and predictable
manner.’’ NCSES acknowledged receipt
and thanked the person for their
comment. Relative to the first notice,
there are two substantive changes: (1)
The first notice stated, ‘‘The 2017 SDR
will maintain the 2015 expanded
sample along with a new sample of
about 10,000 doctorates . . . and will
not exceed 123,000 individuals in total
with U.S. earned doctorates in SEH
fields.’’ After additional analysis of the
sample frame of the final eligible sample
from the 2015 survey and the new
doctoral recipients from 2014 and 2015
academic years, the 2017 sample size is
revised to 124,580 cases effectively
increasing the estimated respondent
burden by 494 hours. (2) The survey
launch date is now planned for June
2017 rather than February 2017 to allow
for additional analysis and survey
design planning.
Dated: April 4, 2017.
