Approved
consistent with and as amended by NSF memos of 5/5/99 and 5/6/99.
NSF agrees that before implementing the next iteration of the
original survey on Scientific and Engineering Research Facilities
at Colleges and Universities, NSF will be submitting a package that
consolidates both the original survey and the follow-up surney and
accounts for the burden hours of both. Therefore, this approval is
for 1 year and approves the 88 hours required to implement the
follow-up survey.
