is requesting comments from all
interested individuals and organizations
on this proposed collection.
DATES: Please submit comments by
March 23, 2020.
ADDRESSES: Submit written comments
to the Office of Information and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NEH first
published notice of its intent to seek
OMB approval for this information
collection in the Federal Register of
October 10, 2019 (84 FR 54647) and
allowed 60 days for public comment.
The agency received one public
comment, dated October 10, 2019,
which expressed general concern about
high taxes and doubt about the benefit
of this information collection to the
taxpayer. NEH acknowledged the
comment but determined that it did not
call for any change to the planned
information collection since the opinion
expressed was of a general nature and
did not pertain to any specific aspects
of the information collection. The
purpose of this notice is to allow an
additional 30 days for public comment.

Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 35 / Friday, February 21, 2020 / Notices
Abstract: This information collection
request (ICR) 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 opinions about 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 adult individuals in the United
States.
Frequency of Information Collection:
Once.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
1,500.
Estimated Average Time per
Response: 20 minutes.
Estimated Total Burden Hours: 500
hours.
The estimates for the average time per
response and the total burden hours are
lower than those provided in the initial
Federal Register notice concerning this
ICR. After publishing the initial notice,
NEH and its survey partners refined the
survey questions and response options.
While the estimated number of
respondents remains the same, NEH
now estimates that the average time per
response will be 20 (rather than 25)
minutes; accordingly, the estimated
total burden hours will be 500 (rather
than 625) hours.

Request for Comments
The public is invited to comment on
all aspects of this ICR, including: (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 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 appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
Burden means the total time, effort, or
financial resources expended by persons
to generate, maintain, retain, disclose or
provide information to or for a Federal
agency. This includes the time needed
to review instructions; to develop,
acquire, install and utilize technology
and systems for the purpose of
collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; to train
personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information, to search
data sources, to complete and review
the collection of information; and to
transmit or otherwise disclose the
information.

collection.
Proposed Project
The NSF’s Division of Industrial
Innovation and Partnerships (IIP),
within the Engineering Directorate,
serves a wide range of grantees across 5
major programs.
The IUCRC program provides a
structure for academic researchers to
conduct fundamental, pre-competitive
research of shared interest to industry
and government organizations. These
organizations pay membership fees to a
consortium so that they can collectively
envision and fund research, with at least
90% of Member funds allocated to the
direct costs of these shared research
projects.
IUCRCs are formed around research
areas of strategic interest to U.S.
industry. Industry is defined very
broadly to include companies (large and
small), startups and non-profit
organizations. Principal Investigators
form a Center around emerging research
topics of current research interest, in a
pre-competitive space but with clear
pathways to applied research and
commercial development. Industry
partners join at inception, as an existing
Center grows, or they inspire the
creation of a new Center by recruiting
university partners to leverage NSF
support. Government agencies
participate in IUCRCs as Members or by
partnering directly with NSF at the
strategic level.
