DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    The Department of Commerce will submit to the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) for clearance the following proposal for collection of 
information under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 
U.S.C. Chapter 35).
    Agency: National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
    Title: NIST Summer Institute for Middle School Science Teachers 
(NIST Summer Institute) and the NIST Research Experience for Teachers 
(NIST RET) Programs Application Requirements.
    OMB Control Number: 0693-0059.
    Form Number(s): NIST-1103.
    Type of Request: Regular submission (revision of a currently 
approved information collection).
    Number of Respondents: 100.
    Average Hours per Response: 1.
    Burden Hours: 100.
    Needs and Uses: The NIST Summer Institute and the NIST RET are two 
competitive financial assistance (cooperative agreement) programs that 
offer middle school (Grades 6-8) science teachers an opportunity to 
participate in hands-on activities, lectures, tours, visits, or in 
scientific research with scientists and engineers in NIST laboratories. 
The aim is to encourage them to inspire students to pursue careers in 
science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. This 
request is for the information collection for form NIST-1103 that must 
be completed by nominated teachers. The information is used in making 
cooperative agreement decisions.
    Revision: The NIST 1103-A, previously used by DC Public School 
Teachers applicants due to a separate allowance for a late application 
period, has been removed from this information collection request. DC 
teachers have applied during the regular application process using NIST 
1103.
    Affected Public: U.S. public school districts, U.S. accredited 
private educational institutions, and U.S. middle school (Grades 6-8) 
science teachers.
    Frequency: Annually.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain benefits.
    This information collection request may be viewed at reginfo.gov. 
Follow the instructions to view Department of Commerce collections 
currently under review by OMB.
    Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information 
collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice 
to [email protected] or fax to (202) 395-5806.
