SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION FOR 2700-0135:
I. Abstract
The NASA Kennedy Space Center (KSC) manages and facilitates the
center-specific Job Shadowing Program (JSP). The program targets high
school and undergraduate students and offers an opportunity to
experience the practical application of STEM, business, and other
disciplines aligned to NASA's long-term workforce needs, in a NASA-
unique workplace setting. Program participants receive insight into
NASA and KSC's history, current activities, and other student
opportunities through briefings, tours, and career panels. Each
participant is then matched with a subject matter expert to gain direct
exposure to the implementation of their respective fields of interest
and related career paths.

Estimated Annual Number of Activities: 4.
Estimated Number of Respondents per Activity: 20.
Annual Responses: 80.
Estimated Time per Response: 30 minutes.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 40.
Estimated Total Annual Cost: $784.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION FOR 2700-0150:
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 revise a currently approved information collection for
a project formerly known as the NASA Summer of Innovation Project. The
request for renewal pertains to the administration of surveys to youth
in support of the agency's STEM challenge activities for middle school
youth. The information collection was 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. Youth surveys
have been retained in this information collection, but the parent
survey and teacher focus groups have been eliminated to reduce burden.
The number of youths participating in this information collection has
been 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, has also been
reduced as a result of these and other changes to the information
collection.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION FOR 2700-0157:
I. Abstract
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration seeks to collect
information from members of the public to plan, conduct, and register
participants and volunteers for the NASA Human Exploration Rover
Challenge, which supports science, technology, engineering, or
mathematics (STEM) education. This engineering design challenge focuses
on NASA's current plans to explore planets, moons, asteroids, and
comets--all members of the solar system family. The challenge will
focus on designing, constructing, and testing technologies for mobility
devices to perform in these different environments, and it will provide
valuable experiences that engage students in the technologies and
concepts that will be needed in future exploration missions. NASA
collects the minimum information necessary from teams, participants,
and volunteers to plan and conduct the event.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION FOR 2700-0184:
I. Abstract
The NASA Universal Registration and Data Management System is a
comprehensive tool designed to allow learners (i.e., students,
educators, and awardee principal investigators) to apply to NASA STEM
engagement
[[Page 22484]]
opportunities (e.g., internships, fellowships, challenges, educator
professional development, experiential learning activities, etc.) in a
single location. NASA personnel manage the selection of applicants and
implementation of engagement opportunities within the Universal
Registration and Data Management System. The information collected will
be used by the NASA Office of STEM Engagement (OSTEM) in order to
review applications for participation in NASA engagement opportunities.
The information is reviewed by OSTEM project and activity managers, as
well as NASA mentors who would be hosting students. This information
collection will consist of student-level data such as demographic
information submitted as part of the application. In addition to
supporting student selection, student- level data will enable NASA
OSTEM to fulfill federally mandated reporting on its STEM engagement
activities and report relevant demographic information as needed for
Agency performance goals and success criteria (annual performance
indicators).

principal investigators may voluntarily apply for an internship or
fellowship experience at a NASA facility, or register for a STEM
engagement opportunity (e.g., challenges, educator professional
development, experiential learning activities, etc.). Parents/
caregivers of eligible student applicants (at least 16 years of age but
under the age of 18) may voluntarily provide consent for their eligible
student applicants to apply.

IV. Request for Comments
Comments are invited on: (1) Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
NASA, including whether the information collected has practical
utility; (2) the accuracy of NASA's estimate of the burden (including
hours and cost) of the proposed collection of information; (3) ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be

information on respondents, including automated collection techniques
or the use of other forms of information technology.
Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized
and included in the request for OMB approval of this information
collection. They will also become a matter of public record.
