Download as PDF jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 169 / Thursday, September 1, 2022 / Notices personal, contact, and institutional information of all individuals on their research team. Applicants proceed to provide summary information about their proposed project, to include project title, duration, funding, timeline, and other details including the data asset(s) they are requesting and any proposed linkages to data not listed in the SAP data catalog, including nonfederal data sources. Applicants then proceed to enter detailed information regarding their proposed project, including a project abstract, research question(s), literature review, project scope, research methodology, project products, and anticipated output. Applicants must demonstrate a need for confidential data, outlining why their research question cannot be answered using publicly available information. Submission for Review: Upon submission of their application, applicants will receive a notification that their application has been received and is under review by the data-owning agency or agencies (in the event where data assets are requested from multiple agencies). At this point, applicants will also be notified that application approval does not alone grant access to confidential data, and that, if approved, applicants must comply with the dataowning agency’s security requirements outside of the SAP Portal, which may include a background check. In accordance with the Evidence Act and the direction of the ICSP, agencies will approve or reject an application within a prompt timeframe. In some cases, agencies may determine that additional clarity, information, or modification is needed and request the applicant to ‘‘revise and resubmit’’ their application. This is also in accordance with the SAP Policy, which was submitted to the public for comment in January 2022 (87 FR 2459, 2022). The policy is currently under review and has not yet been finalized. Appeals Process: In the event of an adverse determination, the applicant will be provided justification through the SAP Portal detailing the determination. The SAP Portal will provide the applicant with the option to submit an appeal for reconsideration by the data-owning agency or agencies. Applicants can also file an appeal for noncompliance with SAP Policy. Access to Restricted Use Data: In the event of a positive determination, the applicant will be notified that their proposal has been accepted. The positive or final adverse determination concludes the SAP Portal process. In the instance of a positive determination, the data-owning agency (or agencies) will contact the applicant to provide VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:15 Aug 31, 2022 Jkt 256001 instructions on the agency’s security requirements that must be completed to gain access to the confidential data. The completion and submission of the agency’s security requirements will take place outside of the SAP Portal and is therefore not included in the estimate of burden below. Estimate of Burden: The amount of time to complete an application within the SAP Portal may vary depending on the number of individuals on the application, the topic of the proposal, and the data assets being requested. To request access to NCSES data assets, it is estimated that the average time to complete and submit an application within the SAP Portal is 60 minutes. This estimate includes the time needed to complete the SAP Portal application fields (applicant information and research proposal); it does not include an estimate of the time needed to develop a research proposal itself. The research proposal is developed outside of the SAP Portal and may be written for multiple audiences (e.g., to solicit funding); therefore, it is not included in the estimate of burden for the SAP Portal. The expected number of applications submitted to NCSES in a given year may vary. Overall, NCSES estimates it may receive 20 application submissions within the SAP Portal per year. NCSES estimates that the total burden for the SAP Portal over the course of the threeyear OMB clearance will be about 60 hours and, as a result, an average annual burden of 20 hours.
