NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION


Agency Information Collection Activities: Comment Request; United 
States Antarctic Program (USAP) Climate Survey

AGENCY: National Science Foundation.

ACTION: Submission for OMB review; comment request.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The National Science Foundation (NSF) has submitted the 
following information collection requirement to OMB for review and 
clearance under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This is the second 
notice for public comment; the first was published in the Federal 
Register, and no comments were received. NSF is forwarding the proposed 
submission to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for clearance 
simultaneously with the publication of this second notice.

DATES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed 
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of 
this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAmain. Find this particular 
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--
Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Suzanne H. Plimpton, Reports Clearance 
Officer, National Science Foundation, 2415 Eisenhower Avenue, 
Alexandria, Virginia 22314; telephone (703) 292-7556; or send email to 
[email protected]. Individuals who use a telecommunications device for 
the deaf (TDD) may call the Federal Information Relay Service (FIRS) at

days a year (including Federal holidays).
    Comments: Comments regarding (a) whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the NSF, including whether the information shall have practical 
utility; (b) the accuracy of the NSF's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, 
use, and clarity of the information on respondents; 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 should be addressed to the points 
of contact in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section.
    Copies of the submission may be obtained by calling 703-292-7556. 
NSF may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless the 
collection of information displays a currently valid OMB control 
number, and the agency informs potential persons who are to respond to 
the collection of information that such persons are not required to 
respond to the collection of information unless it displays a currently 
valid OMB control number.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title of Collection: United States Antarctic Program (USAP) Climate 
Survey.
    OMB Control No.: 3145-0260.
    Type of Request: Intent to seek approval to reinstate with 
revisions an information collection for three years. The primary 
purpose of this reinstatement is to identify and study the perceptions 
and perspectives of USAP participants located in Antarctica. The 
surveys address attitudes and concerns that will help NSF work with 
program participants and participating organizations to instill 
positive changes.
    Proposed Project: In accordance with presidential memo 6646 the NSF 
manages the U.S. Antarctic Program including occupation of three year-
round stations located on the Antarctic continent. NSF is committed to 
a workplace and community that fosters a climate free from sexual 
assault and harassment. NSF has recently completed a Sexual Assault/
Harassment Prevention and Response (SAHR) program which requires 
reinstatement of this information collection.
    Use of the Information: Disseminating a climate survey ensures 
accurate baseline data that will allow NSF to monitor SAHPR program 
progress, course correct efforts, and objectively demonstrate 
successes.
    Burden on the Public: The Foundation estimates that an average of 
1,800 respondents are expected to complete the request per year for a 
total of 900 burden hours annually.
