The National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics (NCSES) within the National Science Foundation is planning to renew the Survey of Doctorate Recipients (SDR). This survey gathers data on people with doctorates in science, engineering, and health from U.S. institutions to understand their employment, education, and demographics. The survey will use web surveys and phone interviews starting in June 2025 and aims for a sample size of 116,000 individuals, expecting a 70% response rate. The information collected helps create important reports and is also available for researchers, while ensuring the participants' confidentiality.

The National Science Foundation (NSF) is planning to renew a collection related to Antarctic emergency response and environmental protection. In line with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, NSF invites public comments by February 3, 2025, before seeking official approval from the Office of Management and Budget. The proposed rule affects non-governmental Antarctic expeditions and requires them to ensure that vessel owners have emergency response plans and that expedition members are informed about their environmental obligations. The expected paperwork burden is estimated to take 40 hours or less and cost $500 to $1400 per respondent.
