SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Abstract
The collection of information
supports the selection process of
individuals to participate in the NASA
Datanaut program. NASA’s corps of
Datanauts features leaders from across
the data/maker/tech communities with
diverse skill sets who use data in
innovative ways. This corps of creative
thinkers are interested in engaging with
NASA and pioneering the future of
exploration-focused data science.
Datanauts are citizens personally and/or
professionally invested in the use and
applications of NASA data. Members
have unique early opportunities to test
datasets and tools, uncover new use
cases for NASA data, and have their
visualization, application or storytelling
work featured by NASA.
This information will be used by the
NASA Datanaut administrative
personnel, during the application
selection process, to gain insight into
the applicant’s interest and skill level in
data analysis and visualization.
Information collected will be limited to
full name, city, state and country of
origin, email, biography, background
experience and biography.

Title of Collection: Grantee Reporting
Requirements for Prediction of and
Resilience against Extreme Events
(PREEVENTS).
OMB Number: 3145–0244.
Proposed Project: NSF and the
Directorate for Geosciences (GEO) have
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 250001
long supported basic research in
scientific and engineering disciplines
necessary to understand natural hazards
and extreme events. The Prediction of
and Resilience against Extreme Events
(PREEVENTS) program is one element
of the NSF-wide Risk and Resilience
activity, which has the overarching goal
of improving predictability and risk
assessment, and increasing resilience, in
order to reduce the impact of extreme
events on our life, society, and
economy. PREEVENTS provides an
additional mechanism to support
research and related activities that will
improve our understanding of the
fundamental processes underlying
natural hazards and extreme events in
the geosciences.
PREEVENTS is intended to encourage
new scientific directions in the domains
of natural hazards and extreme events.
PREEVENTS will consider proposals for
conferences that will foster
development of interdisciplinary or
multidisciplinary communities required
to address complex questions
surrounding natural hazards and
extreme events. Such proposals are
called PREEVENTS Track 1 proposals.
In addition to standard NSF annual
and final report requirements, PIs for all
PREEVENTS Track 1 awards will be
required to submit to NSF a public
report that summarizes the conference
activities, attendance, and outcomes;
describes scientific and/or technical
challenges that remain to be overcome
in the areas discussed during the
conference; and identifies specific next
steps to advance knowledge in the areas
of natural hazards and extreme events
that were considered during the
conference. These reports will be made
publicly available via the NSF website,
and are intended to foster nascent
interdisciplinary or multidisciplinary
communities and to enable growth of
new scientific directions.
Use of the Information: NSF will use
the information to understand and
evaluate the outcomes of the conference,
to foster growth of new scientific
communities, and to evaluate the
progress of the PREEVENTS program.
Estimate of Burden: 40 hours per
award for 5–10 conference awards for a
total of 200–400 hours.
Respondents: Universities and
Colleges; Non-profit, non-academic
organizations; For-profit organizations;
NSF-funded Federally Funded Research
and Development Centers (FFRDCs).
Estimated Number of Responses per
Report: One from each five to ten Track
1 awardees.

Extension:
Rule 15Fi–2—Trade Acknowledgment and
Verification of Security-Based Swap
Transactions, SEC File No. 270–633,
OMB Control No. 3235–0713
Notice is hereby given that pursuant
to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(‘‘PRA’’) (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the
Securities and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) has submitted to the
Office of Management and Budget
(‘‘OMB’’) a request for approval of
extension of the previously approved
collection of information provided for in
Rule 15Fi–2 (17 CFR 240.15Fi–2) under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(‘‘Exchange Act’’) (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.).
Rule 15Fi–2 requires security-based
swaps (‘‘SBS’’) dealers and major SBS
participants (collectively, ‘‘SBS
Entities’’) to provide to their
counterparties a trade acknowledgment,
to provide prompt verification of the
terms provided in a trade
acknowledgment of transactions from
other SBS Entities, and to have written
policies and procedures that are
reasonably designed to obtain prompt
verification of the terms provided in a
trade acknowledgment. The Rule
promotes the efficient operation of the
SBS market and facilitate market
participants’ management of their SBSrelated risk.
The Commission estimates that
approximately 50 entities fit within the
definition of SBS dealer, and up to five
entities fit within the definition of major
SBS participant. Thus, we expect that
approximately 55 entities will be
required to register with the
Commission as SBS Entities and will be
subject to the trade acknowledgment
provision and verification requirements
of Rule 15Fi–2. The total estimated
annual burden of Rule 15Fi–2 is 34,155
hours.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
