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.

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

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.
