Abstract
The National Science Foundation (NSF) is announcing plans to renew this collection. In accordance with the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, we are providing opportunity for public comment on this action. After obtaining and considering public comment, NSF will prepare the submission requesting Office of Management and Budget (OMB) clearance of this collection for no longer than 3 years. Comments: Comments are invited on (a) whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Agency, including whether the information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the Agency'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; 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.

Agency Information Collection Activities: Comment Request;
Grantee Reporting Requirements for Prediction of and Resilience Against
Extreme Events
AGENCY: National Science Foundation.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The National Science Foundation (NSF) is announcing plans to
renew this collection. In accordance with the requirements of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, we are providing opportunity for
public comment on this action. After obtaining and considering public
comment, NSF will prepare the submission requesting Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) clearance of this collection for no longer
than 3 years.
Comments: Comments are invited on (a) whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the Agency, including whether the information shall
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the Agency'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; 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.
DATES: Written comments on this notice must be received by April 3,
2023 to be assured consideration. Comments received after that date
will be considered to the extent practicable. Send comments to address
below.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title of Collection: Grantee Reporting Requirements for Prediction
of and Resilience against Extreme Events (PREEVENTS).
OMB Number: 3145-0244.
Expiration Date of Approval: April 30, 2023.
Type of Request: Intent to seek approval to renew an information
collection.
Proposed Project: NSF and the Directorate for Geosciences (GEO)
have long supported basic research in scientific and engineering
disciplines necessary to understand natural hazards and extreme events.
The Prediction of and Resilience against Extreme Events (PREEVENTS)
program is one element of the NSF-wide Risk and Resilience activity,
which has the overarching goal of improving predictability and risk
assessment, and increasing resilience, in order to reduce the impact of
extreme events on our life, society, and economy. PREEVENTS provides an
additional mechanism to support research and related activities that
will improve our understanding of the fundamental processes underlying
natural hazards and extreme events in the geosciences.
[[Page 6317]]
PREEVENTS is intended to encourage new scientific directions in the
domains of natural hazards and extreme events. PREEVENTS will consider
proposals for conferences that will foster development of
interdisciplinary or multidisciplinary communities required to address
complex questions surrounding natural hazards and extreme events. Such
proposals are called PREEVENTS Track 1 proposals.
In addition to standard NSF annual and final report requirements,
PIs for all PREEVENTS Track 1 awards will be required to submit to NSF
a public report that summarizes the conference activities, attendance,
and outcomes; describes scientific and/or technical challenges that
remain to be overcome in the areas discussed during the conference; and
identifies specific next steps to advance knowledge in the areas of
natural hazards and extreme events that were considered during the
conference. These reports will be made publicly available via the NSF
website, and are intended to foster nascent interdisciplinary or
multidisciplinary communities and to enable growth of new scientific
directions.
Use of the Information: NSF will use the information to understand
and evaluate the outcomes of the conference, to foster growth of new
scientific communities, and to evaluate the progress of the PREEVENTS
program.
Estimate of Burden: 40 hours per award for 5-10 conference awards
for a total of 200-400 hours.
Respondents: Universities and Colleges; Non-profit, non-academic
organizations; For-profit organizations; NSF-funded Federally Funded
Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs).
Estimated Number of Responses per Report: One from each five to ten
Track 1 awardees.
Dated: January 26, 2023.

Reports Clearance Officer, National Science Foundation.
