SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
In accordance with the Executive
Order 12862, the National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST), a
non-regulatory agency of the
Department of Commerce, proposes to
conduct a number of data collection
efforts—both quantitative and
qualitative. The data collections will be
designed to determine requirements and
evaluate the usability and utility of
NIST research for measurement and
standardization work. These data
collections efforts may include, but may
not be limited to electronic
methodologies, empirical studies, video
and audio collections, interviews, and
questionnaires. For example, data
collection efforts may include the
cryptography software survey and the
password generation study. NIST will
limit its inquiries to data collections
that solicit strictly voluntary opinions or
responses. NIST will not conduct
individual data collections under this
generic clearance that are mandatory,
required, or regulated. The data
collected will be used to guide NIST
research. NIST will take steps to ensure
anonymity of respondents in each
activity covered under this request.
II. Method of Collection
NIST will collect this information by
electronic means when possible, as well
as by mail, fax, telephone and personto-person interviews. If an information
collection is conducted in person, NIST
will provide the respondent with a
paper copy of the collection instrument
that displays the ‘‘notwithstanding
statement’’, OMB Control # and current
Expiration date.
III. Data
OMB Control Number: 0693–0043.
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Revision and
extension of a currently approved
information collection.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households, State, local or tribal
government, Federal government.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
15,000.
Estimated Time per Response: Varied,
dependent upon the data collection
method used. The estimated response
time to complete a questionnaire is 15

minutes or 2 hours to participate in an
empirical study.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 15,000.
Estimated Total Annual Cost to
Public: $0.
IV. Request for Comments
NIST invites comments on: (a)
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;
(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate
of the burden (including hours and cost)
of the proposed collection of
information; (c) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (d)
ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents, including through the use
of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
Comments submitted in response to
this notice will be summarized and/or
included in the request for OMB
approval of this information collection;
they also will become a matter of public
record.

I. Abstract
Manufacturing Extension Partnership
(MEP) is a national network of locally
based manufacturing extension centers
that assists small- and medium-sized
manufacturers to improve their
productivity, improve profitability, and
enhance their economic
competitiveness. The information
collected will provide the MEP with
information regarding MEP Center
performance regarding the delivery of
technology, and business solutions to
U.S.-based manufacturers. The collected
information will assist in determining
the performance of the MEP Centers at
both local and national levels, provide
information critical to monitoring and
reporting on MEP programmatic
performance, and assist management in
policy decisions. Responses to the
collection of information are mandatory
per the regulations governing the
operation of the MEP Program (15 CFR
parts 290, 291, 292, and H.R. 1274—
section 2). The information collected
will include center inputs and activities
including services delivered, clients
served, center staff, quarterly expenses
and revenues, partners, strategic plan,
operation plans, and client success
stories. No confidentiality for
information submitted is promised or
provided. In order to reflect new
initiatives and new data needs, NIST
MEP has identified a need to revise its
existing reporting processes by
modifying existing reporting elements
that will enable NIST MEP to better
monitor and assess the extent to which
the Centers are meeting program goals
and milestones.
