Abstract: This information collection request is pursuant to a cooperative agreement between NEH and the American Historical Association (AHA). The purpose of the survey is to understand how the public perceives, and engages with, history and the work of historians. NEH, AHA, and the many educational and cultural institutions they support will use the information gathered in the proposed survey to create responsive and effective history and other humanities programming to better serve the American people. Most immediately, NEH will use findings from the survey to inform programming for ‘‘A More Perfect Union,’’ the agency’s special initiative advancing civic education and commemorating the nation’s 250th anniversary in 2026. NEH and AHA are developing the survey in collaboration with an advisory board, regional history experts, and Fairleigh Dickinson University Poll (FDUP), a market research and public interest survey center. In April of 2020, FDUP will administer this internet survey to adults in the United States. Survey questions will concern respondents’ perceptions of history and its significance, their understanding of the work of historians, and their consumption of history in various forms and via a variety of media and experiences. The survey will be voluntary and will collect both qualitative and quantitative information. FDUP will ensure optimal polling methodology and manage the logistics of the data collection. This survey will not collect any personally identifiable information (PII). Affected Public: Survey respondents will be comprised of adult individuals in the United States. Frequency of Information Collection: Once. Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,500. Estimated Average Time per Response: 25 minutes. Estimated Total Burden Hours: 625 hours.

The applicant and agents propose to film emperor penguins (Aptenodytes forsteri) underwater and on the sea ice, using handheld cameras, pole-mounted cameras, and cameras attached to remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPAS). The resulting footage and photography would be used to create media products including a multi-part series for television. The applicant and agents would access the filming area via helicopter and approach the penguins on foot or while diving. Divers would not approach penguins, but penguins are expected to come within five meters of divers. On the sea ice and when operating the RPAS, the applicant and agents would maintain distance from penguins that would avoid or minimize disturbance.
