Abstract: NASA Explorer Schools (NES) seeks an emergency clearance to collect data from educators to determine eligibility and selection of schools to participate in their three-year project. To lessen the impact on educators who will complete the project application, the application period must be open during times when they are less likely to be needed in the classroom (e.g., summer break) and can obtain any required school board approvals. A NES grantee will host the online application at http://www.nsta.org.

Emergency Justfication: § 1320.13 Emergency processing. An agency head or the Senior Official, or their designee, may request OMB to authorize emergency processing of submissions of collections of information. (a) Any such request shall be accompanied by a written determination that: (1) The collection of information: (i) Is needed prior to the expiration of time periods established under this Part; and (ii) Is essential to the mission of the agency; and (2) The agency cannot reasonably comply with the normal clearance procedures under this part because: (i) Public harm is reasonably likely to result if normal clearance procedures are followed; (ii) An unanticipated event has occurred; or (iii) The use of normal clearance procedures is reasonably likely to prevent or disrupt the collection of information or is reasonably likely to cause a statutory or court ordered deadline to be missed. (b) The agency shall state the time period within which OMB should approve or disapprove the collection of information.
