Survey.
OMB Approval Number: 3145-0260.
Expiration Date of Approval: January 31, 2027.
Type of Request: Intent to seek approval to extend with revisions
an information collection for three years. The primary purpose of this
survey is to identify and study the perceptions and perspectives of
USAP participants located in Antarctica. The surveys address attitudes
and concerns that will help NSF work with program participants and
participating organizations to instill positive changes.
Proposed Project: In accordance with Presidential Memorandum 6646,
NSF manages the US Antarctic Program including occupation of three
year-round stations located on the Antarctic continent. NSF is
committed to a workplace and community that fosters a climate free from
sexual assault and harassment. This request for renewal is intended to
track changes over time from the baseline 2024 survey. This information
collection provides important information that will allow for
continuous evaluation and improvement.
Use of the Information: Disseminating a climate survey ensures
accurate baseline data that will allow NSF to monitor the USAP Sexual
Assault and Harassment Prevention and Response (SAHPR) program
progress, course correct efforts, and objectively demonstrate
successes.
Burden on the Public: The Foundation estimates that it will take
two hours per respondent for 1,180 respondents are expected to complete
the request for a total of 2,360 burden hours.
