Some of the recipients of grants from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC) have proven to have limited experience with managing Federal funds. This questionnaire is designed to identify those potential recipients and provide appropriate training or additional safeguards for Federal funds. Additionally, the questionnaire serves as a pre-audit function in identifying potential deficiencies and minimizing the risk of fraud, waste, abuse, or mismanagement, which we use in lieu of a more costly and time-consuming formal pre-award audit.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Amundsen-Scott South Pole station is one of three year-round stations operated by the National Science Foundation (NSF) as outlined in Presidential Memorandum 6646. The South Pole is a unique research site that supports projects ranging from cosmic observations to seismic and atmospheric studies. The South Pole Station begins austral summer operations in October of SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00106 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 41477 each year. The station typically remains in summer operating mode until early February, at which point the eightmonth long winter season begins. Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station sits at the Earth’s axis on a shifting continental ice sheet several miles thick. At an elevation of 2,835 meters (9,300 feet), the South Pole has an average monthly temperature in the austral summer of ¥28 °C (¥18 °F); in the austral winter, the average monthly temperature is ¥60 °C (¥76 °F). The NSF Office of Polar Programs has identified the need for a South Pole Station Master Plan. The master plan looks at future infrastructure needs to support groundbreaking science at the South Pole, as well as phasing for implementation. NSF will consider input from the community before completing the final plan later this year. The final SPSMP will be posted online at www.usap.gov along with the existing Master Plans for NSF McMurdo Station and NSF Palmer Station. Dated: May 8, 2024. Suzanne H.
