Title: SURVEY OF SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING FACULTY AND STAFF
Type of Information Collection: Revision of a currently approved collection	Common Form ICR:  No
Type of Review Request: Regular
OIRA Conclusion Action: Disapproved and continue	Conclusion Date: 03/25/1988
	Date Received in OIRA: 12/28/1987
Terms of Clearance: This survey is disapproved because, as designed, it may impose unnecessary burdens and does not minimize costs to the Federal Government. NSF is requesting to conduct this survey on an annual basis but has offerred no adequate justification for the detailed annual information this survey would produce. An additional problem is that the question on median income would involve institutions reporting an individual's actual salary and does not take into consideration the individual's need for privacy. OMB is willing to review a resubmission of this package promptly if NSF revises its request to meet the two above concerns.
