FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To request more information on this proposed information collection or to obtain a copy of the proposal and associated collection instruments, please write to the Center for the Study of Weapons of Mass Destruction, Institute for National Strategic Studies, National Defense University, ATTN: Natasha E.

Needs and Uses: The information collection requirement is necessary to assess the impact of emerging technologies (additive manufacturing, advanced robotics, nanotechnology, nuclear energy and synthetic biology) on the threat of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and governance, tools and measures designed to counter WMD as part of a multi-year study entitled Emergence and Convergence. These surveys will generate important new data on the risk of misuse and governability of these technologies and support in-depth analysis of national security risks. Current Actions: Processing New as Generic. Type of Review: New. Affected Public: Business or other for profit; Not-for-profit institutions. Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 65. Average Expected Annual Number of Activities: 1. Below we provide projected average estimates for the next three years: Average Number of Respondents per Activity: 65. Responses per Respondent: 2. Annual Responses: 130. Average Burden per Response: 60 minutes. Annual Burden Hours: 130. Frequency: On occasion. Respondents are subject matter experts including scientists, engineers and technologists at academic institutions, non-for-profit organizations and industry. Structured techniques for the elicitation of expert judgment are key tools for national security risk assessments. The Delphi method involves an iterative series of questionnaires designed to build an expert consensus on a topic for which there is little or no existing data. This survey offers significant public benefit by producing a report that will support a dialogue between policymakers and private sector stakeholders. The report generated by this survey will help to educate the private sector on the national security risks associated with emerging technologies. [[Page 91144]] Dated: December 13, 2016.
