Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 165 / Friday, August 24, 2018 / Notices
White House, in 2006, issued the
American Competitiveness Initiative to
‘‘increase investments in research and
development, strengthen education, and
encourage entrepreneurship.’’ In
support of this initiative and in
response to legislative mandates, data
on R&D are delivered to OSTP,
primarily in the biennial National
Science Board report Science and
Engineering Indicators. Also, the
National Science Foundation (NSF)
produces a series of publications
containing R&D data including the
National Patterns of R&D Resources
series, the S&E State Profile series, and
the annual Business R&D and
Innovation series. Special reports and
other publications are also prepared.
II. Method of Collection
The BRDS will follow a primarily
electronic collection strategy. The
BRD–1 form will be available on the
website to assist respondents with
gathering the required data prior to
reporting online. Paper forms will also
be sent to respondents upon request,
however no paper forms will be
included in initial mail packets. The
online survey automatically skips
questions that do not apply [based on
previous responses] and checks for
common errors. Links to detailed
question-by-question instructions will
be embedded in the electronic
instrument. Excel spreadsheets are
available to facilitate the electronic
collection of information from various
areas of the companies. Respondents
have the capability to download the
spreadsheets from the Census Bureau’s
website. A consolidator spreadsheet is
also available to assist companies that
need to gather information from
business units and then compile the
information into one company report.
The due date will be six weeks after
mail out.
