information collection. The OWCP uses
Form CA–12 to obtain information from
eligible survivors receiving death
benefits for an extended period of time.
This information is necessary to ensure
the OWCP pays accurate compensation.
This information collection has been
classified as a revision, because the
Form CA–12 instructions and several
questions have been revised and
electronic submission into case records
is now available.
This information collection is subject
to the PRA. A Federal agency generally
cannot conduct or sponsor a collection
of information, and the public is
generally not required to respond to an
information collection, unless it is
approved by the OMB under the PRA
and displays a currently valid OMB
Control Number. In addition,
notwithstanding any other provisions of
law, no person shall generally be subject
to penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information that does not
display a valid Control Number. See 5
CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL
obtains OMB approval for this
information collection under Control
Number 1240–0015. The DOL notes that
existing information collection
requirements submitted to the OMB
receive a month-to-month extension
while they undergo review. New
requirements would only take effect
upon OMB approval. For additional
substantive information about this ICR,
see the related notice published in the
Federal Register on April 5, 2017 (82 FR
16633).
Interested parties are encouraged to
send comments to the OMB, Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs at
the address shown in the ADDRESSES
section within thirty (30) days of
publication of this notice in the Federal
Register. In order to help ensure
appropriate consideration, comments
should mention OMB Control Number
1240–0015. The OMB is particularly
interested in comments that:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
• Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,

I. Abstract
NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND
SPACE ADMINISTRATION
The National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA) Office of
Diversity and Equal Opportunity and
the Office of Procurement, in
accordance with Title VI of the Civil
Rights Act of 1964, Title IX of the
Education Amendments of 1972,
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of
1973, and the Age Discrimination Act of
1975, requires grant awardees to submit
an assurance of non-discrimination
(NASA Form 1206) as part of their
initial grant application package. The
requirement for assurance of
nondiscrimination compliance
associated with federally assisted
programs is long standing, derives from
civil rights implementing regulations,
and extends to the grant recipient’s subgrantees, contractors, successors,
transferees, and assignees. Grant
selectees are required to submit
compliance information triennially
when their award period exceeds 36
consecutive months. This information
collection will also be used to enable
NASA to conduct post-award civil
rights compliance reviews.

ACTION:
NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION
In accordance with the Federal
Advisory Committee Act (Pub. L. 92–
463, as amended), the National Science
Foundation (NSF) announces its intent
to hold proposal review meetings
throughout the year. The purpose of
these meetings is to provide advice and
recommendations concerning proposals
submitted to the NSF for financial
support. The agenda for each of these
meetings is to review and evaluate
proposals as part of the selection
process for awards. The review and
evaluation may also include assessment
of the progress of awarded proposals.
These meetings will primarily take
place at NSF’s current headquarters,
4201 Wilson Blvd., Arlington, Virginia
22230 or NSF’s new headquarters, 2415
Eisenhower Avenue, Alexandria, VA
22314.
These meetings will be closed to the
public. The proposals being reviewed
include information of a proprietary or
confidential nature, including technical
information; financial data, such as
salaries; and personal information
concerning individuals associated with
the proposals. These matters are exempt
under 5 U.S.C. 552b(c), (4) and (6) of the
Government in the Sunshine Act. NSF
will continue to review the agenda and
merits of each meeting for overall
compliance of the Federal Advisory
Committee Act.
These closed proposal review
meetings will not be announced on an
individual basis in the Federal Register.
NSF intends to publish a notice similar
to this on a quarterly basis. For an
advance listing of the closed proposal
review meetings that include the names
of the proposal review panel and the
time, date, place, and any information
on changes, corrections, or
cancellations, please visit the NSF Web
site: https://www.nsf.gov/events/

for Continued Science-focused
Operations (Agency-preferred
Alternative); Alternative 2,
Collaboration with Interested Parties for
Transition to Education-focused
Operations; Alternative 3, Mothballing
of Facilities; Alternative 4, Partial
Demolition and Site Restoration; and
Alternative 5, Complete Demolition and
Site Restoration; and the No Action

proposes mitigation measures to
minimize the adverse impacts from
demolition or operation of the
alternatives where such impacts may
occur. Consultation under Section 106
of the National Historic Preservation Act
(NHPA) is being conducted concurrent
to the NEPA process.

Foundation will execute a Record of
Decision no sooner than 30 days after
the date of publication of the Notice of
Availability published in the Federal
Register by the Environmental
Protection Agency.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Arecibo Observatory is an NSF-owned
scientific research and education facility
located in Puerto Rico. In 2011, NSF
awarded a Cooperative Agreement to
SRI International (SRI), which together
with Universities Space Research
Association (USRA) and Universidad
Metropolitana (UMET) formed the
Arecibo Management Team to operate
and maintain the Arecibo Observatory
for the benefit of research communities.
The initial 5-year period of performance
of the Cooperative Agreement was
extended 18 months, to 31 March 2018.
Arecibo Observatory enables research in
three scientific disciplines: space and
atmospheric sciences, radio astronomy,
and solar system radar studies; the last
of these is largely funded through a
research award to USRA from the
National Aeronautics and Space
Administration. An education and
public outreach program complements
the Arecibo Observatory scientific
program. A key component of the
Arecibo Observatory research facility is
a 305-meter diameter, fixed, spherical
reflector. Arecibo Observatory
infrastructure includes instrumentation
for radio and radar astronomy and
ionospheric physics, office and
laboratory buildings, a heavily utilized
visitor and education facility, and
lodging facilities for visiting scientists.
Through a series of academic
community-based and portfolio reviews,
NSF identified the need to divest of
several facilities from its portfolio in
order to retain the balance of
capabilities needed to deliver the best
performance on the key science of the
present decade and beyond. In 2016,
NSF completed a feasibility study to
inform and define options for the
observatory’s future disposition that
would involve significantly decreasing
or eliminating NSF funding of Arecibo.
Concurrently, NSF sought viable
concepts of operations from the
scientific community via a Dear
Colleague Letter NSF 16–005 (see
www.nsf.gov/AST). NSF issued a Notice
of Intent to prepare an EIS on May 23,
2016, held scoping meetings on June 7,
2016, and held a 30-day public
comment period that closed on June 23,
2016. On September 30, 2016, NSF
issued a Dear Colleague Letter NSF 16–
144 (see www.nsf.gov/AST) to notify the
Observatory stakeholder community
that NSF intended to issue a follow-up
solicitation, requesting the submission
of formal proposals involving the
continued operation of Arecibo
