NASA Advisory Council; Meeting, 73728-73729 [2024-20575]

Download as PDF 73728 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 176 / Wednesday, September 11, 2024 / Notices of the funds for On-Site Consultation services delivered by the States, which result in the information collection. Four requirements apply to employers and specify conditions for receiving the free consultation services. II. Special Issues for Comment OSHA has a particular interest in comments on the following issues: • Whether the proposed information collection requirements are necessary for the proper performance of the agency’s functions to protect workers, including whether the information is useful; • The accuracy of OSHA’s estimate of the burden (time and costs) of the information collection requirements, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; • The quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; and • Ways to minimize the burden on employers who must comply; for example, by using automated or other technological information, and transmission techniques. lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 III. Proposed Actions OSHA is proposing that OMB revise the approval of the information collection requirements contained in the Occupational Safety and Health On-Site Consultation Agreements. The agency is requesting an adjustment decrease and a program change to incorporate the collections from OMB Control Number 1218–0281. The number of burden hours have decreased from 223,495 to 195,692 hours, a difference of 27,759 hours. OSHA attributes this to fewer visits being conducted in recent years, including FY 2023. The reason for the fewer visits is likely flat funding of the program and inflationary pressures due to cost-of-living increases. Also, some Consultation programs are only now reestablishing onsite visits to worksites that were inaccessible during restrictions that resulted from the COVID–19 pandemic. Although there have been burden hour increases associated with some activities (e.g., adding activities associated with consultation visits involving the assessment of worksites where Process Safety Management (PSM) evaluations are conducted that were previously approved in OMB Control Number 1218–0281, and OSHA’s instructions to Consultation programs to use the entire Form 33 on more consultation visits, to enhance consultation services to small business employers), these burden hour increases have been fewer than the decreased burden hours associated with fewer visits. VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:42 Sep 10, 2024 Jkt 262001 OSHA will summarize the comments submitted in response to this notice and will include this summary in the request to OMB to extend the approval of the information collection requirements.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title of Collection: NSF Research Experience and Mentoring Survey. OMB Number: 3145–0261. Expiration Date of Approval: November 30, 2024. Type of Request: Intent to seek approval to renew an information collection. Abstract: The Research Experience and Mentoring (REM) Program supports the active involvement of research participants (RPs) that include high school students, Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) teachers, undergraduate STEM students, faculty, and veterans, in hands-on research in order to bring participants into contact with STEM mentors and expose them to a summer research experience. Research participants are recruited as cohorts in order to facilitate mentoring and research activities, community building, and provide mutual student support. The main goals of the REM Program are to provide research experiences and mentored opportunities to STEM students and/or educators that may ultimately enhance their career and academic trajectories while enhancing NSF research projects by the Emerging Frontiers in Research and Innovation (EFRI) program, the Engineering Research Centers (ERC), and the Industry-University Cooperative Research Centers (IUCRC). The REM Program may also enable the building of long-term collaborative partnerships among EFRI-,ERC-, and ICUCRsupported researchers, community colleges, local four-year colleges, and local school districts. A REM supplement of maximum of $110,000 over a 1-year period. Activities that are innovative and site-specific are encouraged. Effective REM programs typically have many of the following characteristics, which are provided here as general guidelines: mentorship training for researchers and affiliated graduate students or postdoctoral researchers; well-designed, introductory training for RPs; six to ten weeks of summer research (full time); continued PO 00000 Frm 00109 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 73729 mentorship of RPs throughout the academic year; participation of RPs in research team meetings and topicrelated conferences or workshops; and guidance for RPs in co-authoring publications and/or posters. NSF is requesting OMB approval for the REM program to collect information from past and present research participants and mentors. The REM program seeks to collect data from research participants and mentors to: (1) inform REM programming (e.g., to identify areas of growth); and (2) conduct retrospective analysis of the REM program to assess the success of REM historically. Use of the Information: The information collected is primarily for the use of the NSF REM program to assess the success of the program and for informing decisions NSF will make regarding future programming and support provided to research participants. Estimate burden on the public: Estimated at 180 hours for a one-time collection. Respondents: All REM research participants and mentors will be invited to respond to the survey. The REM research participants include high school students, STEM teachers, undergraduate STEM students, faculty, and veterans. Estimated number of respondents: 540 (representing a 60% response rate). Average Time per Reporting: The online survey is comprised primarily of closed-ended questions and is designed to be completed by respondents in under 20 minutes. Frequency: One-time collection. 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 respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology. Please submit one copy of your comments by only one method. All submissions received must include the agency name and collection name identified above for this information collection. Commenters are strongly encouraged to transmit their comments E:\FR\FM\11SEN1.SGM 11SEN1
