Agency Information Collection Activities: Comment Request, 31224-31225 [2024-08766]

Download as PDF 31224 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 80 / Wednesday, April 24, 2024 / Notices II. Final Decision and Order OSHA staff examined TUVRNA’s expansion application, their capability to meet the requirements of the test standard, and other pertinent information. Based on its review of this evidence, OSHA finds that TUVRNA meets the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 for expansion of its recognition, subject to the limitations and conditions listed below. OSHA, therefore, is proceeding with this final notice to grant TUVRNA’s scope of recognition. OSHA limits the expansion of TUVRNA’s recognition to testing and certification of products for demonstration of conformance to the test standards shown below in Table 1. TABLE 1—APPROPRIATE TEST STANDARDS FOR INCLUSION IN TUVRNA’S NRTL SCOPE OF RECOGNITION Test standard Test standard title UL 61010–2–051 ............................ Electrical Equipment for Measurement, Control and Laboratory Use—Part 2—051: Particular Requirements for Laboratory Equipment for Mixing and Stirring. Electrical Equipment for Measurement, Control and Laboratory Use—Part 2—061: Particular Requirements for Laboratory Atomic Spectrometers with Thermal Atomization and Ionization. UL 61010–2–061 ............................ OSHA’s recognition of any NRTL for a particular test standard is limited to equipment or materials for which OSHA standards require third-party testing and certification before using them in the workplace. Consequently, if a test standard also covers any products for which OSHA does not require such testing and certification, a NRTL’s scope of recognition does not include these products. A. Conditions Recognition is contingent on continued compliance with 29 CFR 1910.7, including but not limited to, abiding by the following conditions of recognition: 1. TUVRNA must inform OSHA as soon as possible, in writing, of any change of ownership, facilities, or key personnel, and of any major change in its operations as a NRTL, and provide details of the change(s); 2. TUVRNA must meet all the terms of its recognition and comply with all OSHA policies pertaining to this recognition; and 3. TUVRNA must continue to meet the requirements for recognition, including all previously published conditions on TUVRNA’s scope of recognition, in all areas for which it has recognition. OSHA hereby expands the scope of recognition of TUVRNA, subject to the limitations and conditions specified above. khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES III. Authority and Signature James S.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title of Collection: National Science Foundation Research Traineeship (NRT) Monitoring System. OMB Number: 3145–0263. Type of Request: Intent to seek approval to renew an information collection. Proposed Project: The National Science Foundation’s (NSF’s) Division of Graduate Education (DGE) in the Directorate for STEM Education (EDU) administers the NSF Research Traineeship (NRT) program. The NRT program is designed to encourage the development and implementation of bold, new, and potentially transformative models for STEM graduate education training. The NRT program seeks to ensure that graduate students in research-based master’s and doctoral degree programs develop the skills, knowledge, and competencies needed to pursue a range of STEM careers. NRT is dedicated to effective training of STEM graduate students in high-priority interdisciplinary or convergent research areas through the use of a comprehensive traineeship model that is innovative, evidencebased, and aligned with changing workforce and research needs. Previously, NRT awardees provided NSF with information on their activities through periodic research performance progress reports. The NRT monitoring system (also referred to as the NRT reporting system) has replaced these reports with a tailored program monitoring system that uses internetbased information and communication technologies to collect, review, and validate specific data on NRT awards. EDU is committed to ensuring the efficiency and effectiveness with which respondents provide and NSF staff can access and analyze data on funded projects within the NRT programs.

The collection generally includes three categories of descriptive data: (1) Staff and project participants (data that are necessary to determine individual-level treatment and control groups for future third-party study or for internal evaluation); (2) project implementation characteristics (also necessary for future use to identify well-matched comparison groups); and (3) project outputs (necessary to measure baseline for pre- and postNSF-funding-level impacts). NRT awardees will be required to report data on an annual basis for the life of their award. Use of the Information: NSF will primarily use the data from this collection for program planning, management, and audit purposes to respond to queries from the Congress, the public, NSF’s external merit reviewers, who serve as advisors, including Committees of Visitors (COVs), the NSF’s Office of the Inspector General, and as a basis for either internal or third-party evaluations of individual programs. This information is required for effective administration, communication, program and project monitoring and evaluation, and for measuring attainment of NSF’s program, project, and strategic goals, and as identified by the President’s Accountability in Government Initiative; GPRA, and the NSF’s Strategic Plan.

Since this collection will primarily be used for accountability and evaluation purposes, including responding to queries from COVs and other scientific experts, a census, rather than sampling design, typically is necessary. At the individual project level, funding can be adjusted based on individual project’s responses to some of the surveys. Some data collected under this collection will serve as baseline data for separate research and evaluation studies. NSF-funded contract or grantee researchers and internal or external evaluators in part may identify control, comparison, or treatment groups for NSF’s education and training portfolio using some of the descriptive data gathered through this collection to conduct well-designed, rigorous research and portfolio evaluation studies.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title of Collection: National Science Foundation Research 
Traineeship (NRT) Monitoring System.
    OMB Number: 3145-0263.
    Type of Request: Intent to seek approval to renew an information 
collection.
    Proposed Project: The National Science Foundation's (NSF's) 
Division of Graduate Education (DGE) in the Directorate for STEM 
Education (EDU) administers the NSF Research Traineeship (NRT) program. 
The NRT program is designed to encourage the development and 
implementation of bold, new, and potentially transformative models for 
STEM graduate education training. The NRT program seeks to ensure that 
graduate students in research-based master's and doctoral degree 
programs develop the skills, knowledge, and competencies needed to 
pursue a range of STEM careers. NRT is dedicated to effective training 
of STEM graduate students in high-priority interdisciplinary or 
convergent research areas through the use of a comprehensive 
traineeship model that is innovative, evidence-based, and aligned with 
changing workforce and research needs.
    Previously, NRT awardees provided NSF with information on their 
activities through periodic research performance progress reports. The 
NRT monitoring system (also referred to as the NRT reporting system) 
has replaced these reports with a tailored program monitoring system 
that uses internet-based information and communication technologies to 
collect, review, and validate specific data on NRT awards. EDU is 
committed to ensuring the efficiency and effectiveness with which 
respondents provide and NSF staff can access and analyze data on funded 
projects within the NRT programs.

[[Page 31225]]

    The NRT monitoring system includes subsets of questions aimed at 
the different project participants (i.e., Principal Investigators 
(PIs), and trainees), and allows for data analysis and data report 
generation by authorized NSF staff. The collection generally includes 
three categories of descriptive data: (1) Staff and project 
participants (data that are necessary to determine individual-level 
treatment and control groups for future third-party study or for 
internal evaluation); (2) project implementation characteristics (also 
necessary for future use to identify well-matched comparison groups); 
and (3) project outputs (necessary to measure baseline for pre- and 
post- NSF-funding-level impacts). NRT awardees will be required to 
report data on an annual basis for the life of their award.
    Use of the Information: NSF will primarily use the data from this 
collection for program planning, management, and audit purposes to 
respond to queries from the Congress, the public, NSF's external merit 
reviewers, who serve as advisors, including Committees of Visitors 
(COVs), the NSF's Office of the Inspector General, and as a basis for 
either internal or third-party evaluations of individual programs. This 
information is required for effective administration, communication, 
program and project monitoring and evaluation, and for measuring 
attainment of NSF's program, project, and strategic goals, and as 
identified by the President's Accountability in Government Initiative; 
GPRA, and the NSF's Strategic Plan. The Foundation's FY 2022-2026 
Strategic Plan may be found at: https://www.nsf.gov/publications/pub_summ.jsp?ods_key=nsf22068.
    Since this collection will primarily be used for accountability and 
evaluation purposes, including responding to queries from COVs and 
other scientific experts, a census, rather than sampling design, 
typically is necessary. At the individual project level, funding can be 
adjusted based on individual project's responses to some of the 
surveys. Some data collected under this collection will serve as 
baseline data for separate research and evaluation studies.
    NSF-funded contract or grantee researchers and internal or external 
evaluators in part may identify control, comparison, or treatment 
groups for NSF's education and training portfolio using some of the 
descriptive data gathered through this collection to conduct well-
designed, rigorous research and portfolio evaluation studies.
    Burden on the Public: Estimated at 2-16 hours per respondent for 
4080 respondents for a total of 5,150 hours (per year).
    Comments: Comments are invited on (a) whether the proposed 
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of 
the functions of the Agency, including whether the information shall 
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the Agency's estimate of 
the burden of the proposed collection of information; (c) ways to 
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information on 
respondents, including through the use of automated collection 
techniques or other forms of information technology; and (d) ways to 
minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are 
to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, 
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology.
