Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 11 / Tuesday, January 18, 2022 / Notices range of the study (N = 2,000). It is expected that approximately 50% of these respondents, or 1,000, will complete a 20-minute one-year followup survey. This would result in a total of 4,966 20-minute surveys completed by REU respondents, for a total of 1,655 burden hours for this subset of respondents. For comparison group participations, there will be two cohorts with full cycles of data collection (pre-test and follow-up). It is expected that a total of 2,000 respondents will complete a 20- minute pre-survey in the project. Of these 2,000 comparison group respondents, approximately 50%, or 1,000, are expected to complete a 20minute one-year follow-up survey. This would result in a total of 3,000 surveys completed by comparison group respondents, for a total of 1,000 burden hours. For REU PIs, there will be 21⁄3 years of complete data collection (Time 1 and Time 2 REU PI Information Forms). Based on an expected 100 NSF CISE REU PIs choosing to receive evaluation 2641 services each year, It is expected that a total of approximately 233 REU PIs will complete both the Time 1 and Time 2 PI REU Information Forms (each one takes 10 minutes to complete). This would result in a total of 466 10-minute forms completed by REU PIs, for a total of 77.67 burden hours for this subset of respondents. Together, the total estimated survey burden for the project is 2,733 hours. The calculations are shown in Table 1.
