Download as PDF 29884 Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 122 / Tuesday, June 25, 2019 / Notices collection, the Directorate can calculate submission rates and funding rates in specific areas of research. Similarly, the information can be used to identify emerging areas of research, evaluate changing infrastructure needs in the research community, and track the amount of international research. As the National Science Foundation is committed to funding cutting-edge science, these factors all have implications for program management. The Directorate of Biological Sciences has a continuing commitment to monitor its information collection in order to preserve its applicability and necessity. Through periodic updates and revisions, the Directorate ensures that only useful, non-redundant information is collected. These efforts will reduce excessive reporting burdens. Burden on the Public: The Directorate estimates that an average of five minutes is expended for each proposal submitted. An estimated 6,500 responses are expected during the course of one year for a total of 542 public burden hours annually. Expected Respondents: Individuals. Estimated Number of Responses: 6,500. Estimated Number of Respondents: 6,500. Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 542 hours. Frequency of Responses: On occasion. Dated: June 20, 2019. Suzanne H.
