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."
