National Institute of Corrections, 202–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
overall policy and operations of the NIC
are under the supervision of the Board.
In general, the NIC provides training,
technical assistance, information
services, and policy/program
development assistance to Federal,
state, and local corrections agencies;
through cooperative agreements, awards
funds to support program initiatives;
and provides leadership to influence
correctional policies, practices, and
operations nationwide in areas of
emerging interest and concern to
correctional executives and
practitioners as well as public
policymakers. The Board will help
develop long-range plans, advise on
program development, and recommend
guidance to assist the NIC’s efforts in
these areas. The Board will also advise
the Attorney General about the
appointment of the Director of the NIC.
The Board shall report to the Director
of the NIC. The Director of NIC or his/
her designated representatives may act
upon the Board’s advice and
recommendations.
Under 18 U.S.C. 4351(b) and (c), the
Board shall consist of sixteen members.
The following six individuals shall
serve as members of the Board ex
officio: The Director of the Federal
Bureau of Prisons or his designee, the
Assistant Attorney General for the
Office of Justice Programs or his
designee, Chairman of the United States
Sentencing Commission or his designee,
the Director of the Federal Judicial
Center or his designee, the Associate
Administrator for the Office of Juvenile
Justice and Delinquency Prevention or
his designee, and the Assistant
Secretary for Human Development of
the Department of Health and Human
Services or his designee. The remaining
ten members of the Board shall be
selected by the Attorney General of the
United States, after consultation with
the Federal Bureau of Prisons and the
NIC. Five of these shall be qualified as
a practitioner (Federal, State, or local) in
the field of corrections, probation, or
parole, and shall serve for staggered
three-year terms. Five of these members
shall be from the private sector, such as
business, labor, and education, having
demonstrated an active interest in
corrections, probation, or parole, and
shall serve for staggered three-year
terms.
The NIC, when necessary, and
consistent with the Board’s mission and
NIC policies and procedures may
establish subcommittees, task groups, or
working groups deemed necessary to

support the Board. Establishment of
subcommittees will be based upon an
identified and articulated need, a verbal
or written vote by the Board, and
approval by the NIC Director. The Board
has established no permanent
subcommittees.
Any established subcommittees shall
not work independently of the chartered
Board, and shall report all of their
recommendations and advice to the
Board for full deliberation and
discussion. Subcommittees have no
authority to make decisions on behalf of
the chartered Board; nor can any
subcommittees or any of its members
update or report directly to the NIC or
any Federal officers or employees. All
subcommittees operate under the
provisions of the FACA, the
Government in the Sunshine Act,
governing Federal statutes and
regulations, and governing NIC policies/
procedures.
The Board shall meet at the call of the
Board’s Designated Federal Officer, in
consultation with the Chairperson. The
estimated number of Committee
meetings is two per year.
In addition, the Designated Federal
Officer is required to be in attendance
at all Board and subcommittee meetings
for the entire duration of each and every
meeting; however, in the absence of the
Designated Federal Officer, the
Alternate Designated Federal Officer
shall attend the entire duration of the
Committee or subcommittee meeting.
Pursuant to 41 CFR 102–3.105(j) and
102–3.140, the public or interested
organizations may submit written
statements to NIC Advisory Board’s
membership about the Board’s mission
and functions. Written statements may
be submitted at any time or in response
to the stated agenda of planned meeting
of NIC Advisory Board.
All written statements shall be
submitted to the Designated Federal
Officer for the National Institute of
Corrections Advisory Board, and this
individual will ensure that the written
statements are provided to the
membership for their consideration.
The Designated Federal Officer,
pursuant to 41 CFR 102–3.150, will
announce planned meetings of the
Department of Defense Historical
Advisory Committee. The Designated
Federal Officer, at that time, may
provide additional guidance on the
submission of written statements that
are in response to the stated agenda for
the planned meeting in question.

collection.
Abstract: NSF’s Proposal & Award
Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG)
establishes several types of proposal in
addition to standard research proposals
that deviate from NSF’s standard
proposal preparation instructions.
Several of these proposal types require
prospective submitters to first contact
an NSF Program Officer with expertise
germane to the topic to determine
whether the prospective project is
appropriate for consideration under the
type of proposal.
In FY 2020, the COVID–19 pandemic
resulted in a large volume of inquiries
and requests, more than 6,000 incoming
contacts, to support research outside of
standard research proposal mechanisms,
particularly RAPID and EAGER
proposals. This was the largest and most
widespread, but not the only, episode of
high-profile, high-volume inquiries
related to these proposal types. High
levels of interest are also observed after
