Short Statement: The Management and Organization (M&O) Office is responsible for overseeing the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) Program for NIST. M&O has been conducting extensive outreach and training to our NIST customers regarding PRA and Office of Management & Budget (OMB) requirements as well as the approval process. M&O’s broad outreach efforts include discussions with NIST staff at all levels of the Agency in the use of information collections for their specific needs and guidance on how to proceed. This generic clearance for Usability Data Collections is the most highly utilized of all of NIST’s generic clearances, as a result of this outreach. The Information Technology Laboratory (ITL), the primary NIST Laboratory, that utilizes this generic clearance, anticipate that they will be tasked with multiple future studies that will include public safety-first responders across the nation. Based on these factors, NIST is seeking a substantial increase to our currently approved number of respondents and burden hours, to cover current and future information collections to be conducted under this request for a three (3) year renewal. NIST is seeking approval for an estimated number of 150,000 Respondents, which includes an increase of 126,500 respondents and 100,000 burden hours, which includes an increase of 89,000 burden hours to meet our NIST customers’ needs and requirements. This increase in burdens will ensure that NIST is remains compliant with the PRA.
