Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 187 / Friday, September 25, 2020 / Notices
decided to consider revisions to NSCG
questionnaire items to gauge the effects
of the coronavirus pandemic on
workforce issues, a follow-up email was
sent to Dr. Reamer on 8 July 2020,
informing him that revised items were
being developed for testing and any
proposed revisions would be included
in the ICR submitted to OMB.
Comment: On 28 June 2020, Dr. Jon
Freeman of New York University sent
an email to NSF on behalf of the
American Association for the
Advancement of Science (AAAS) and
the American Educational Research
Association (AERA). He requested that
measures of sexual orientation and
gender identity (SOGI) be included in
the 2021 NSCG and other future surveys
of the National Center for Science and
Engineering Statistics (NCSES).
Response: NSF responded to Dr.
Freeman on 21 September 2020,
informing him that NCSES intends to
pursue research into the feasibility of
collecting consistent and reliable SOGI
data from individuals. However, due to
time and resource constraints, no SOGI
measures would be ready for inclusion
in the 2021 NSCG.
Comments: Comments are invited on
(a) whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Agency, including whether the
information shall 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 on respondents,
including through the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology; and (d) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
