methods for assessing potential nonresponse bias, the protocols for data
collection, and any testing procedures
that were or will be undertaken prior to
fielding the study. Depending on the
degree of influence the results are likely
to have, such collections may still be
eligible for submission for other generic
mechanisms that are designed to yield
quantitative results.
As a general matter, information
collections will not result in any new
system of records containing privacy
information and will not ask questions
of a sensitive nature, such as sexual
behavior and attitudes, religious beliefs,
and other matters that are commonly
considered private.

Title of Collection: Systematics
Scientists Community Survey.
OMB Number: 3145–NEW.
PO 00000
Frm 00068
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Expiration Date of Approval: Not
applicable.
Type of Request: Intent to seek
approval to establish information
collection for better serving the
systematics and biodiversity community
of scientists.
Abstract: The Systematics and
Biodiversity Science Cluster (SBS) of
the Division of Environmental Biology
(DEB) at the National Science
Foundation (NSF) supports research and
methods development that advances
understanding of the diversity,
systematics, distribution and
evolutionary history of extant and
extinct organisms. SBS has a
longstanding commitment to support
research and taxonomic capacity
building across the breadth of life on
earth.
SBS requests the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)
approval to initiate a new survey that
will capture the current state of
systematic research in the U.S. across
subdisciplines, taxonomic groups, and
scientific training and ranks.
Use of the Information: Individual
survey responses will not be identifiable
to the respondent. Aggregate results
from the survey will be analyzed and
summarized for internal SBS use. The
data collected and analyzed will be used
for program planning, management, and
evaluation purposes. Analyzed data in
aggregate may be used in a white paper
reporting on the state of systematics
science in the U.S. These data are
needed for effective administration,
program monitoring, evaluation, and for
strategic planning within SBS.
Expected Respondents: The
respondents will be scientists that selfidentify as systematists.
Estimate of Burden
Estimates of Annualized Cost to
Respondents for the Hour Burdens
The overall annualized cost to the
respondents is estimated to be $6,730.
The following table shows the estimated
burden and costs to respondents, who
are generally biologists at the
postsecondary level. This estimated
hourly rate is based on a report from the
Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Occupational
Employment and Wages, May 2021).1
According to this report, the median
hourly rate is $33.65.
