Agency Information Collection Activities: Comment Request

AGENCY: National Science Foundation.

ACTION: Submission for OMB review; comment request.

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

SUMMARY: The National Science Foundation (NSF) has submitted the 
following request for revision of the approved collection of research 
and development data in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995. This is the second notice for public comment; the first was 
published in the Federal Register and no comments were received. NSF is 
forwarding the proposed renewal submission to the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) for clearance simultaneously with the publication of 
this second notice.

DATES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed 
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of 
this notice to <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAmain">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAmain</a>. Find this particular 
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--
Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function.

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.
    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: April 12, 2023.

Reports Clearance Officer, National Science Foundation.
