This site displays a prototype of a “Web 2.0” version of the daily Federal Register. It is not an official legal edition of the Federal Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official electronic version on GPO’s govinfo.gov.
The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status. For complete information about, and access to, our official publications and services, go to About the Federal Register on NARA's archives.gov.
The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for legal research should verify their results against an official edition of the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.

Title of Collection: United States Antarctic Program (USAP) Climate Survey.
OMB Approval Number: 3145-0260.
Expiration Date of Approval: January 31, 2027.
Type of Request: Intent to seek approval to extend with revisions an information collection for three years. The primary purpose of this survey is to identify and study the perceptions and perspectives of USAP participants located in Antarctica. The surveys address attitudes and concerns that will help NSF work with program participants and participating organizations to instill positive changes.
Proposed Project: In accordance with Presidential Memorandum 6646, NSF manages the US Antarctic Program including occupation of three year-round stations located on the Antarctic continent. NSF is committed to a workplace and community that fosters a climate free from sexual assault and harassment. This request for renewal is intended to track changes over time from the baseline 2024 survey. This information collection provides important information that will allow for continuous evaluation and improvement.
Use of the Information: Disseminating a climate survey ensures accurate baseline data that will allow NSF to monitor the USAP Sexual Assault and Harassment Prevention and Response (SAHPR) program progress, course correct efforts, and objectively demonstrate successes.
Burden on the Public: The Foundation estimates that it will take two hours per respondent for 1,180 respondents are expected to complete the request for a total of 2,360 burden hours.
