The OSE develops supplements for teachers to use in teaching science in the classroom. Because a major portion of OSE's budget is spent on the supplements, data is needed to determine their effectiveness.
This is a reinstated collection of information. Certain surveys and burden hours have been changed from the previous OMB clearance (No. 0925-0551). Specifically, a survey of "Careers in Science" requestors and focus groups of NIH curriculum supplement requestors were deleted due to reduced OSE staff. The burden hours for the Survey of NIH Curriculum Supplement customers was increased because there are now more people in this pool. The burden hours for the Teacher Workshop Short Follow-up Survey was also increased for this reason.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
