SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice relies on the authority of the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., chapter 35, as 
amended. An ICR is an application to OIRA seeking the approval, 
extension, or renewal of a S&T collection of information (Collection). 
The ICR contains information describing the Collection's purpose, the 
Collection's likely burden on the affected public, an explanation of 
the necessity of the Collection, and other important information 
describing the Collection. There is one ICR for each Collection.
    S&T invites comments on whether this ICR should be granted based on 
the Collection being necessary for the proper performance of 
Departmental functions. In particular, S&T would appreciate comments 
addressing: (1) The practical utility of the Collection; (2) the 
accuracy of the estimated burden of the Collection; (3) ways to enhance 
the quality, utility, and clarity of information subject to the 
Collection; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of the Collection on 
respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology. Burden means the total time, 
effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, 
maintain, retain, disclose or provide information to or for a Federal 
agency.
    In response to your comments, we may revise this ICR. We will 
consider all comments and material received during the comment period.
    We encourage you to respond to this request by submitting comments
