reporting dates, the grantee informs
MSHA of significant developments or
problems affecting the organization’s
ability to accomplish the work. Final
Reports: At the end of the grant period,
each grantee provides a project
summary of its technical project reports,
an evaluation report, and a close-out
financial report. These final reports are
due no later than 90 days after the end
of the 12-month performance period.
For additional substantive information
about this ICR, see the related notice
published in the Federal Register on
December 18, 2020 (85 FR 82522).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Summary of Comments on the Survey
of Doctorate Recipients and NSF’s
Responses: As required by 5 CFR
1320.8(d), comments on the information
collection activities as part of this study
were solicited through the publication
of a 60-Day Notice in the Federal
Register on 5 February 2021, at 86 FR
8384. We received two comments. The
nature of each comment and our
responses are summarized below.
Comment: On 5 February 2021, Dr.
Andrew Reamer of George Washington
University sent an email to NSF on
behalf of the American Economic
Association’s Committee on Economic
Statistics. He requested the draft
information collection request (ICR)
materials for the 2021 SDR and asked
whether any changes were proposed for
the 2021 SDR compared to the 2019
SDR.
Response: NSF responded to Dr.
Reamer on 2 February 2021, explaining
that the 2021 SDR ICR materials were in
the process of being prepared and that
there were no substantive changes
planned. He was directed to the 2019
SDR questionnaires on the NSF website,
which would be updated to reflect the
survey year. He was also informed that
the same instrument, with updates to
reflect survey year and modifications to
accommodate the circumstances of the
coronavirus pandemic, will be used for
the 2021 cycle.
Comment: NCSES received a
comment on 17 March 2021 from Dr.
Jon Freeman representing the American
Association for the Advancement of

Science (AAAS) and the American
Educational Research Association
(AERA). The commenters requested that
NCSES include measures of sexual
orientation and gender identity on the
SDR and on other NCSES surveys
(specifically, the National Survey of
College Graduates and the Survey of
Earned Doctorates).
Response: NCSES informed the
commenters that it continues to actively
engage on the Federal Committee on
Statistical Methodology’s (FCSM)
Working Group on Measuring Sexual
Orientation and Gender Identity and
described its research efforts for
development and fielding possible
questionnaire additions to address the
topic. NCSES informed the commenters
that it does not intend to include these
measures in the 2021 SDR.
Title of Collection: 2021 Survey of
Doctorate Recipients.
OMB Approval Number: 3145–0020.
Summary of Collection: The purpose
of this panel survey is to collect data
that will be used to provide national
estimates on the doctoral science and
engineering workforce and changes in
their employment, education, and
demographic characteristics. The SDR is
sponsored by the National Center for
Science and Engineering Statistics
(NCSES) within the NSF and by the
National Institutes of Health.
The National Science Foundation Act
of 1950, as subsequently amended,
includes a statutory charge to ‘‘. . .
provide a central clearinghouse for the
collection, interpretation, and analysis
of data on scientific and engineering
resources, and to provide a source of
information for policy formulation by
other agencies of the Federal
Government.’’ The SDR is designed to
comply with these mandates by
providing information on the supply
and utilization of the nation’s doctoral
level scientists and engineers.
Use of the Information: The NSF uses
the information from the SDR to prepare
congressionally-mandated reports such
as Women, Minorities and Persons with
Disabilities in Science and Engineering
and Science and Engineering Indicators.
NCSES also produces, on a biennial
basis, a set of statistical tables from the
SDR, and publishes statistics from the
SDR in other reports.
Expected Respondents: A statistical
sample of 130,938 individuals who had
earned a research doctorate degree from
a U.S. academic institution in the fields
of science, engineering, or health (SEH)
will be contacted in 2021; these
individuals may reside in the U.S. or
abroad. As with prior SDR data
collection cycles, the sample consists of
all eligible cases from the previous
PO 00000
Frm 00063
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
29295
cycle, as well as a sample of new
doctoral graduates, who received their
doctorate between 1 July 2017 and 30
June 2019. In addition, the sample may
include 5,000 cases that will be part of
a non-production bridge panel designed
to quantify the potential impact of
question wording modifications on key
survey estimates. Another 9% of the
production sample may submit an interround updated contact form that takes
about 3 minutes to complete.
Estimate of Burden: NCSES expects
the overall 2021 SDR response rate to be
approximately 70 percent. The amount
of time to complete the questionnaire
may vary depending on an individual’s
circumstances; however, based on 2019
SDR completion times, NCSES estimates
an average completion time of
approximately 21 minutes. NCSES
estimates that the average annual
burden for the 2021 survey cycle over
the course of the three-year OMB
clearance period will be no more than
10,882 hours [(130,938 individuals ×
70% response × 21 minutes) + (125,938
× 9% participation × 3 minutes)]/3
years/60 minutes.
