The National Science
Foundation (NSF) is announcing plans
to reinstate this collection. In
accordance with the requirements of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, we
are providing opportunity for public
comment on this action. After obtaining
and considering public comment, NSF
will prepare the submission requesting
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) clearance of this collection for no
longer than 3 years.
DATES: Written comments on this notice

assured consideration. Comments
received after that date will be
considered to the extent practicable.
Send comments to address below.
Comments: Comments are invited on

information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Agency, including whether the
information shall have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the Agency’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information; (c) ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information on respondents,
including through the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology; and (d) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title of Collection: Survey of Science
and Engineering Research Facilities.
OMB Control Number: 31450101.
Expiration Date of Current Approval:
Not applicable.
Type of Request: Intent to seek
approval to reinstate an information
collection for three years.
Abstract: Established within NSF by
the America COMPETES
Reauthorization Act of 2010 § 505,
codified in the NSF Act of 1950, as
amended, NCSESone of 13 principal
federal statistical agenciesserves as a
central Federal clearinghouse for the
collection, interpretation, analysis, and
dissemination of objective data on
science, engineering, technology, and
research and development for use by
practitioners, researchers, policymakers,
and the public.
The Survey of Science and
Engineering Research Facilities is a
Congressionally mandated (Pub. L. 99
159), biennial census that has been
conducted since 1986. The survey
collects data on the amount, condition,
costs, and funding of the physical
facilities used to conduct science and
engineering research at U.S. academic
institutions. Congress expected that this
survey would provide the data
necessary to describe the status and
needs of science and engineering
research facilities and would help
formulate appropriate solutions to
documented needs. During the FY 2019
and FY 2021 survey cycles, data were
collected from a population of
approximately 585 research-performing
universities. Data are collected through
a Web-based interface, although
institutions have the option of printing
and completing a PDF that can be sent
by mail.

Use of the Information: The proposed
project will continue the biennial
survey for two cycles: FY 2023 and FY
2025. The Survey of Science and
Engineering Research Facilities will
provide continuity of statistics on the
status of scientific and engineering
research facilities and capabilities.
Statistics on the square footage of
research and development (R&D) space
available, the condition of R&D space,
and the costs for new construction,
repairs, and renovation of R&D space at
higher education institutions by science
and engineering R&D field are produced
from the survey. The sources of funding
for new construction and repair and
renovation projects are also published.
The information can be used by Federal
policy makers, planners, and budget
analysts in making policy decisions, as
well as by institutional academic
officials, the scientific/engineering
establishment, and state agencies and
legislatures that fund universities.
Data are published in NCSES’s
biennial publication series Survey of
Science and Engineering Research
Facilities, available on the web at http://
www.nsf.gov/statistics/srvyfacilities/.
Expected Respondents: The Facilities
Survey is a census of institutions that
performed at least $1 million in
separately accounted for science and
engineering research and development
in the previous fiscal year.
In the most recent FY 2021 Facilities
Survey, a census of 584 academic
institutions was conducted. The
sampling frame used for the survey was
the FY 2020 Higher Education Research
and Development Survey conducted by
the National Center for Science and
Engineering Statistics.
Estimate of Burden: The Facilities
Survey will be sent to approximately
600 academic institutions for both the
FY 2023 and FY 2025 data collection
cycles. Response to this voluntary
survey is typically 97 percent each
cycle. The average burden estimate is 19
hours per academic institution based on
completion time estimates provided by
all survey participants in the FY 2013
survey. The expected estimated burden
per survey cycle is 11,400 hours (600
institutions × 19 hours to complete).
The total estimated burden is 22,800 for
both years combined.
