PRA_PUBLIC@dol.gov.
Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3507(a)(1)(D).
This ICR
seeks to extend PRA authority for the
Rehabilitation Action Report
information collection. The contractor
vocational rehabilitation counselor
submits form OWCP–44 during an
ongoing vocational rehabilitation. The
form gives prompt notification of key
events that may require OWCP action in
the vocational rehabilitation process.
For example, when a disabled worker
returns to work, benefits are adjusted
quickly to avoid an overpayment. The
rehabilitation counselor from
information in his or her records
completes all items. The Federal
Employees’ Compensation Act sections
8104(a) and 8111(b) and the Longshore
and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act
sections 908(g) and 939(c) authorizes
this information collection. See 5 U.S.C.
8104(a), 8111(b) and 33 U.S.C. 908(g),
939(c).
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 1240–0008.
OMB authorization for an ICR cannot
be for more than three (3) years without
renewal, and the DOL seeks to extend
PRA authorization for this information
collection for three (3) more years,
without any change to existing
requirements. The DOL notes that
existing information collection
requirements submitted to the OMB
receive a month-to-month extension
while they undergo review. For
additional substantive information

required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995.
DATES: All comments should be
submitted within 60 calendar days from
the date of this publication.
ADDRESSES: Interested persons are
invited to submit written comments
regarding the proposed information
collection to the Office of Information
and Regulatory Affairs, Office of
Management and Budget, 725 7th Street

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Abstract
NASA’s founding legislation, the
Space Act of 1958, as amended, directs
the agency to expand human knowledge
of Earth and space phenomena and to
preserve the role of the United States as
a leader in aeronautics, space science,
and technology. The NASA Office of
Education administers the agency’s
national education activities in support
of the Space Act, including the
performance measurement and
evaluation of educational projects and
programs. This generic clearance will
allow the NASA Office of Education to
continue to test and pilot with subject
matter experts, secondary students,
higher education students, educators,
and interested parties new and existing
information collection forms and
assessment instruments for the purposes
of improvement and establishing
validity and reliability characteristics of
the forms and instruments. Existing
information collections include
Undergraduate Internship Impact
Surveys (Baseline and Follow-up
Instruments), Undergraduate Internship
Impact Surveys (Retrospective and
Traditional Developed Instruments),
STEM Challenges Impact Surveys
(Student Baseline and Follow-up
Instruments), STEM Challenges Impact
Surveys (Educator Retrospective
Instruments), One Stop Shopping

program application forms, customer
satisfaction questionnaires, focus group
protocols, and project activity survey
instruments. Methodological testing will
include focus group discussions, pilot
surveys to test new individual question

instrument. In addition, test-retest and
similar protocols will be used to
determine reliability characteristics of
the forms and instruments.
Methodological testing will assure that
forms and instruments accurately and
consistently collect and measure what
they are intended to measure and that
data collection items are interpreted
precisely and consistently, all towards
the goal of accurate Agency reporting
while improving the execution of NASA
Education project activities.

the agency to expand human knowledge
of Earth and space phenomena and to

Education has three primary goals: (1)
Strengthen NASA and the Nation’s
future workforce, (2) attract and retain
students in science, technology,
engineering and mathematics, or STEM,
disciplines, and (3) engage Americans in
NASA’s mission. This notice informs
the public of NASA’s intent to review

Challenge project activities. The request
for emergency renewal pertains to the
administration of surveys to youth in
support of the agency’s STEM challenge
activities for youth. The information
collection was previously revised to
collect the minimum amount of data
required to (1) evaluate the activity for
improvement opportunities, and (2)
collect outcome data to assess the
activity model’s effectiveness in meeting
its intended objectives. The number of
youth participating in this information
collection were previously reduced to
reflect the estimated number of
participants who will be engaged in this
activity in the future. The cost of the
information collection, to participating
members of the public, reflects a
previous reduction as a result of the
changes to the information collection
described above.
