Notice of Intent To Seek Approval To Establish An Information 
Collection

AGENCY: National Science Foundation.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: The National Science Foundation (NSF) is announcing plans to 
request clearance of this collection. In accordance with the 
requirement of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995 (Pub. L. 104-13), we are providing opportunity for public comment 
on this action. After obtaining and considering public comment, NSF 
will prepare the submission requesting that OMB approve clearance of 
this collection for no longer than three years.

DATES: Written comments on this notice must be received by June 29, 
2015 to be assured of consideration. Comments received after that date 
will be considered to the extent practicable.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Suzanne Plimpton, Reports Clearance 
Officer, National Science Foundation, 4201 Wilson Boulevard, Suite 
1265, Arlington, Virginia 22230; telephone (703) 292-7556; or send 
email to splimpto@nsf.gov. Individuals who use a telecommunications 
device for the deaf (TDD) may call the Federal Information Relay 
Service (FIRS) at 1-800-877-8339, which is accessible 24 hours a day, 7 
days a week, 365 days a year (including federal holidays). You may 
obtain a copy of the data collection instruments and instructions from 
Ms. Plimpton.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title of Collection: Presidential Awards for Excellence in 
Mathematics and Science Teaching (PAEMST), State Coordinator (SC) 
Survey.
    OMB Number: 3145--NEW.
    Expiration Date of Approval: Not Applicable.
    Type of request: NEW.
    Abstract: The PAEMST is a White House program established by 
Congress in 1983 authorizing the President to bestow up to 108 awards 
each year to teachers of mathematics and science at the elementary and 
secondary levels. The NSF is the designated federal agency for 
administration of this Presidential program. Awards are given to 
mathematics and science (including computer science) teachers from each 
of the 50 states and four U.S. jurisdictions. The jurisdictions are 
Washington DC; Puerto Rico; Department of Defense Education Activity 
schools; and the U.S. territories as a group (American Samoa, Guam, the 
Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin 
Islands). The award recognizes those teachers who develop and implement 
a high-quality instructional program that is informed by content 
knowledge and enhances student learning. Since the program's inception, 
more than 4,300 teachers have been recognized for their contributions 
in the classroom and to their profession. Awardees serve as models for 
their colleagues, inspiration to their communities, and leaders in the 
improvement of mathematics and science (including computer science) 
education.
    The State Coordinator (SC) manages the PAEMST program within his or 
her state or jurisdiction. SCs recruit eligible nominees, select and 
assign mentors to nominees, coordinate the selection committee, and 
plan local recognition events within their State. They also carry out 
the responsibilities as noted in the ``Operational Handbook for State-
Level Science and Mathematics Coordinators.''
    The purpose of this survey is to seek feedback from the 120 SCs 
regarding PAEMST management within their state or jurisdiction. The 
NSF, PAEMST support team will ask directed questions using the survey 
to gather information that may specifically address the methods and 
recruitment efforts that SCs use to support the attracting of

[[Page 24289]]

prospective award nominees. Additional survey areas may also include:
     Applicant Mentoring
     Mentor Training
     State selection Committee
     State selection Process
     Applicant and State Finalist Notification and Recognition
     In-kind contributions
    The survey will evaluate the impact SCs have on attracting 
prospective award nominees to PAEMST. This will be conducted as a Web-
based survey.
    Estimate of Burden: Public reporting burden for this collection of 
information is estimated to average 30-40 minutes for State 
Coordinators.
    Respondents: Individuals.
    Estimated Number of Responses per Form: 120 Coordinators.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 80 hours (120 
Coordinators at 40 minutes per survey = 80 hours).
    Frequency of Response: One per application cycle.
    Comments: Comments are invited on (a) whether the proposed 
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of 
the PAEMST functions, 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, utility, and clarity of the information on respondents, 
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other 
forms of information technology; (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.
