Approved as amended by and consistent with NSF's memos to OMB of 8/20/98, 9/2/98, 9/3/98. In addition, NSF agrees to the following terms of clearance: 1) To clarify the new process for clearing individual packages under this generic clearance as outlined in the 9/2 memo -- (a) With this action OMB approves the overall generic process as well as the 5 individual tasks submitted to OMB as attachments to this generic package for three years. The 5 individual tasks included as attachments are EPSCoR, AMP, DUE-PIR, LSC Cross-Project Monitoring, and Eng-CRCD. (b) All other individual tasks associated with this generic (see exhibit 1 of supporting statement) must be submitted to OMB for clearance prior to implementation. If approved those individual approvals will expire, at the latest, when this generic expires in 9/2001. (c) When NSF seeks to add additional tasks to 3145-0136 other than those previously mentioned, the additional request will be accompanied by an 83-C burden change sheet so that the appropriate burden total for the generic clearance can be changed accordingly. Further, each additional request shall contain a cover memo which describes why the specific task is appropriate to include in the generic. (d) Consistent with past procedures under this generic clearance, submission of individual task are done informally (i.e., sent directly to the desk officer rather than to the docket library) and OMB will attempt to complete the review expeditiously. (2) NSF will include as part of the race ethnicity reporting for the EPSCoR and the AMP a category entitled "more than one race reported", not "more that on race."
