The Department of Commerce will submit the following information
collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and clearance in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995, on or after the date of publication of this notice. We invite the
general public and other Federal agencies to comment on proposed, and
continuing information collections, which helps us assess the impact of
our information collection requirements and minimize the public's
reporting burden. Public comments were previously requested via the
Federal Register on June 17, 2025 during a 60-day comment period. This
notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments.
Agency: National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST),
Commerce.
Title: NIST Generic Clearance for Program Evaluation Data
Collections.

Type of Request: Regular submission, extension of a current
information collection.
Number of Respondents: 40,000.

data collection. Response time could be 2 minutes for a response card
or 1 hour for a more structured collection instrument. The overall
average response time is expected to be 30 minutes.

Needs and Uses: In accordance with Executive Order 12862, the
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), a non-regulatory

current programs from a customer's perspective. NIST proposes to
perform program evaluation data collections by means of, but not
limited to, focus groups, reply cards that accompany product
distributions, and Web-based surveys and dialogue boxes that offer
customers the opportunity to express their views on the programs they
are asked to evaluate. NIST will limit its inquiries to data
collections that solicit strictly voluntary opinions and will not
collect information that is required or regulated. Steps will be taken
to assure anonymity of respondents in each activity covered under this
request.
Affected Public: Individuals or households; Business or other for-
profit organizations; Not-for-profit institutions; State, Local, or
Tribal government; Federal government.
Frequency: On occasion.
Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
