This event supports the President's initiative to create opportunities to advance science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education. This information collection enables high school and college students to participate in NASA's annual Great Moonbuggy Race (aka NASA Rover Challenge.) This vehicular engineering activity targets high school and college students and is designed to connect classroom training to tangible activities that enable practical application of STEM disciplines, cultivates innovative thinking, and embraces teamwork. This event is inspired by the original lunar rover that piloted across the moon's surface on the early 1970's during Apollo 15, 16, and 17 missions. Participation is voluntary.
The NASA Great Moonbuggy Race (NASA Rover Challenge) information collection is being processed as an active collection without OMB approval, thereby increasing the Agency burden.
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.
