I. Background
The Office of Workers’ Compensation
Programs (OWCP) administers the
Longshore and Harbor Workers’
Compensation Act (LHWCA). The Act
provides benefits to workers’ injured in
maritime employment on the navigable
waters of the United States or in an
adjoining area customarily used by an
employer in loading, unloading,
repairing, or building a vessel. In
addition, several acts extend the
Longshore Act’s coverage to certain
other employees. Pursuant to section
914(d) of the Longshore Act, and
20CFR702.251, if an employer
controverts the right to compensation,
he/she shall file with the district
director in the affected compensation
district on or before the fourteenth day
after he/she has knowledge of the
alleged injury or death, a notice, in
accordance with a form prescribed by
the Secretary, stating that the right to
compensation is controverted. Form LS–
207 has been designated for this
purpose. Form LS–207 is used by
insurance carriers and self-insured
employers to controvert claims under
the Longshore Act and extensions. The
information is used by OWCP district
offices to determine the basis for not
paying benefits in a case. This
information collection is currently
approved for use through May 31, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
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
Initiative (OSSI) Student-level data
application, and Office of Education
Performance Measurement (OEPM)
Program-level data system. Forms and
instruments to be tested include
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
items as well as the complete form and
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

Records Schedules; Availability and
Request for Comments
National Archives and Records
Administration (NARA).
ACTION: Notice of availability of
proposed records schedules; request for
comments.
AGENCY:
The National Archives and
Records Administration (NARA)
SUMMARY:

Jkt 244001
publishes notice at least once monthly
of certain Federal agency requests for
records disposition authority (records
schedules). Once approved by NARA,
records schedules provide mandatory
instructions on what happens to records
when agencies no longer need them for
current Government business. The
records schedules authorize agencies to
preserve records of continuing value in
the National Archives of the United
States and to destroy, after a specified
period, records lacking administrative,
legal, research, or other value. NARA
publishes notice in the Federal Register
for records schedules in which agencies
propose to destroy records they no
longer need to conduct agency business.
NARA invites public comments on such
records schedules.
DATES: NARA must receive requests for
copies in writing by April 9, 2018. Once
NARA finishes appraising the records,
we will send you a copy of the schedule
you requested. We usually prepare
appraisal memoranda that contain
additional information concerning the
records covered by a proposed schedule.
You may also request these. If you do,
we will also provide them once we have
completed the appraisal. You have 30
days after we send to you these
requested documents in which to
submit comments.
ADDRESSES: You may request a copy of
any records schedule identified in this
notice by contacting Records Appraisal
and Agency Assistance (ACRA) using
one of the following means:
Mail: NARA (ACRA); 8601 Adelphi
Road; College Park, MD 20740–6001.
Email: request.schedule@nara.gov.
Fax: 301–837–3698.
You must cite the control number,
which appears in parentheses after the
name of the agency that submitted the
schedule, and a mailing address. If you
would like an appraisal report, please
include that in your request.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Margaret Hawkins, Director, by mail at
Records Appraisal and Agency
Assistance (ACRA); National Archives
and Records Administration; 8601
Adelphi Road; College Park, MD 20740–
6001, by phone at 301–837–1799, or by
email at request.schedule@nara.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NARA
publishes notice in the Federal Register
for records schedules they no longer
need to conduct agency business. NARA
invites public comments on such
records schedules, as required by 44
U.S.C. 3303a(a).
Each year, Federal agencies create
billions of records on paper, film,
magnetic tape, and other media. To
control this accumulation, agency

records managers prepare schedules
proposing records retention periods and
submit these schedules for NARA’s
approval. These schedules provide for
timely transfer into the National
Archives of historically valuable records
and authorize the agency to dispose of
all other records after the agency no
longer needs them to conduct its
business. Some schedules are
comprehensive and cover all the records
of an agency or one of its major
subdivisions. Most schedules, however,
cover records of only one office or
program or a few series of records. Many
of these update previously approved
schedules, and some include records
proposed as permanent.
The schedules listed in this notice are
media neutral unless otherwise
specified. An item in a schedule is
media neutral when an agency may
apply the disposition instructions to
records regardless of the medium in
which it creates or maintains the
records. Items included in schedules
submitted to NARA on or after
December 17, 2007, are media neutral
unless the item is expressly limited to
a specific medium. (See 36 CFR
1225.12(e).)
Agencies may not destroy Federal
records without Archivist of the United
States’ approval. The Archivist approves
destruction only after thoroughly
considering the records’ administrative
use by the agency of origin, the rights
of the Government and of private people
directly affected by the Government’s
activities, and whether or not the
records have historical or other value.
In addition to identifying the Federal
agencies and any subdivisions
requesting disposition authority, this
notice lists the organizational unit(s)
accumulating the records (or notes that
the schedule has agency-wide
applicability when schedules cover
records that may be accumulated
throughout an agency); provides the
control number assigned to each
schedule, the total number of schedule
items, and the number of temporary
items (the records proposed for
destruction); and includes a brief
description of the temporary records.
The records schedule itself contains a
full description of the records at the file
unit level as well as their disposition. If
NARA staff has prepared an appraisal
memorandum for the schedule, it also
includes information about the records.
You may request additional information
about the disposition process at the
addresses above.
