Renewal of Agency Information
Collection of a Previously Approved
Collection; Request for Comments
National Credit Union
Administration (NCUA).
ACTION: Notice of submission to the
Office of Management and Budget.
AGENCY:
As required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act, The National Credit
Union Administration (NCUA) is
submitting the information collection to
the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for renewal: Suspicious Activity
Reports by Depository Institutions
pursuant to the Security Program,
Report of Suspected Crimes, Suspicious
Transactions, Catastrophic Acts and
Bank Secrecy Act Compliance. The
information collection is currently
authorized by OMB Control Number
3133–0094, which expires on May 31,
2023. This information collection allows
NCUA to ensure compliance with
regulatory and statutory requirements
for adopting and requiring reports of
suspicious transactions on a
consolidated suspicious activity report
(SARs) form.
DATES: Written comments should be
received on or before May 30, 2023 to
be assured consideration.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent
within 30 days of publication of this
notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/
PRAMain. Find this particular
information collection by selecting
‘‘Currently under 30-day Review—Open
for Public Comments’’ or by using the
search function.

collection conducted under the Bank
Secrecy Act (BSA) (31 U.S.C. 5318(g))
requiring reports of suspicious
transactions on a consolidated
suspicious activity report (SARs) form.
This information collection simplified
the process through which banks inform
their regulators and law enforcement
about suspected criminal activity.
Information about suspicious
transactions conducted or attempted by,
at, through, or otherwise involving
credit unions are collected through
FinCEN’s BSA E-filing system by credit
unions. A SAR is to be filed no later
than 30 calendar days from the date of
the initial detection of facts that may
constitute a basis for filing a SAR. If no
suspect can be identified, the period for
filing a SAR is extended to 60 days.
FinCEN and law enforcement agencies
use the information on BSA–SARs and
the supporting documentation retained
by the banks for criminal investigation
and prosecution purposes.
Affected Public: Federally Insured
Credit Unions.
Respondents: Any NCUA-supervised
institution wishing to obtain an
exemption from the Suspicious Activity
Report requirements.
Estimated No. of Respondents: 4,760.
Estimated No. of Responses per
Respondent: 36.64.
Estimated Total Annual Responses:
174,406.
Estimated Burden Hours per
Response: 1.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 174,406.
Reason for Change: The burden went
down because the number of
respondents decreased.
Request for Comments: NCUA
published a notice requesting comments
on renewal of this information under 88
FR 23691 and comments were not
received. NCUA requests that comments
on this collection to the location listed
in the ADDRESSES section. The public is
invited to submit comments concerning:
(a) whether the collection of information
is necessary for the proper execution of
the function of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used; (c) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (d)
ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of the information on the
respondents, including the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.

The
CHIPS and Science Act of 2022
authorized the creation of a Directorate
for Technology, Innovation, and
Partnerships (TIP) at NSF with the
purpose of (i) supporting use-inspired
and translational research and
accelerating the development and use of
federally funded research, (ii)
strengthening United States
competitiveness by accelerating the
development of key technologies, and
(iii) growing the domestic workforce in
key technology focus areas and expand
the participation of United States
students and researchers in areas of
societal, national, and geostrategic
importance, at all levels of education.
In establishing this new directorate,
Congress identified ten initial key
technology focus areas in which TIP
investments should focus on advancing
U.S. competitiveness, along with related
societal, national, and geostrategic
challenges to be addressed through TIPsupported research, as listed below.

and translational research over a 3-year
time frame, working towards the goal of
advancing U.S. competitiveness in the
identified key technology focus areas
and addressing the societal, national,
and geostrategic challenges.
Terminology
This RFI uses the following
definitions:
—Use-Inspired Research: Research that
is motivated based on challenges seen
in human society.
—Translational Research: Research that
moves an idea, invention, and/or
other research output past the
fundamental discovery stage toward
results and outcomes that directly
benefit people through societal or
economic impacts.
Information Requested. Respondents
may provide information for one or as
many topics below as they choose.
Through this RFI, NSF seeks
information to inform development of a
roadmap to guide TIP research and
development and workforce
investments over a 3-year period.
1. Prioritization. What evidence exists
that should guide NSF in determining
PO 00000
Frm 00098
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
priorities across the technologies listed
above in advancing or maintaining U.S.
competitiveness? Within each
technology area, are there critical useinspired and translational research
topics that should be prioritized for NSF
investment in a 1- to 3-year time frame
to advance U.S. competitiveness, and if
so, why? Which research topics within
each of the technology areas can be
reasonably expected to be funded by
others, making them less critical for TIP
funding?
2. Suitability. Which technologies, or
topics within the technologies listed
above, are well-suited for the type of
use-inspired and translational research
that TIP has the mandate to support?
What kind of investment approaches or
funding vehicles would have the
greatest impact in maturing said
technology?
3. Workforce. Which of the
technologies listed above will have the
greatest workforce needs in the next 1
to 5 years, understanding that
investments in workforce initiatives
often have longer time horizons to
produce results? To meet this growing
demand, how could TIP programs be
structured to best supply these
workforce needs, including pathways to
the state and local levels, considering
education and training at every level?
a. How could TIP collaborate with
other government and private
organizations to ensure workforce
development activities address industry
priorities across the key technology
focus areas and societal, national, and
geostrategic challenges while
broadening the talent base through
diversity, equity, inclusion, and
accessibility?
b. How could the directorate inform
state, local, and tribal government of the
knowledge, skills, and abilities needed
to build pathways to prepare future
workers and reskill current workers for
entry into the key technology focus
areas?
4. Addressing societal challenges.
Considering the ways each of the key
technology focus areas will impact each
of the societal, national, and geostrategic
challenges, which of the technology
areas should receive investment priority
and why? This includes investments in
use-inspired and translational research,
education, training, as well as general
literacy on a given topic. On what
specific challenge problems related to
the societal, national, and geostrategic
challenges could TIP focus that would,
in turn, drive technological
development in the key technology
areas?
5. Additions. Are there technology
areas that should be prioritized for TIP
E:\FR\FM\28APN1.SGM
28APN1
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 82 / Friday, April 28, 2023 / Notices
investment in the near term that are not
included in the above list, such as those
included on the National Science and
Technology Council’s Critical and
Emerging Technologies List, and if so,
why?
6. Crosscutting investments. What
translational research investments can
be made to drive innovation by
addressing critical needs common to
multiple technology focus areas? What
are these shared needs, and among
which technology areas?
7. Other topics, in your view, that are
relevant to developing a roadmap for
TIP.
