SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract

    NASA's founding legislation, the Space Act of 1958, as amended, 
directs the agency to expand human knowledge of Earth and space 
phenomena and to preserve the role of the United States as a leader in 
aeronautics, space science, and technology. The NASA Office of 
Education has three primary goals: (1) Strengthen NASA and the Nation's 
future workforce, (2) attract and retain students in science, 
technology, engineering and mathematics, or STEM, disciplines, and (3) 
engage Americans in NASA's mission. This notice informs the public of 
NASA's intent to review and revise the currently approved information 
collection for STEM Challenge project activities. The request for 
emergency renewal pertains to the administration of surveys to youth in 
support of the agency's STEM challenge activities for youth. The 
information collection was previously revised to collect the minimum 
amount of data required to (1) evaluate the activity for improvement 
opportunities, and (2) collect outcome data to assess the activity 
model's effectiveness in meeting its intended objectives. The number of 
youth participating in this information collection were previously 
reduced to reflect the estimated number of participants who will be 
engaged in this activity in the future. The cost of the information 
collection, to participating members of the public, reflects a previous 
reduction as a result of the changes to the information collection 
described above.

hours and cost) of the proposed collection of information; (3) ways to 
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be
