The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is seeking comments from the public and other federal agencies regarding information collection activities related to the Organization of Scientific Area Committees for Forensic Science (OSAC). This request is made under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 to assess the impact of information collection and reduce the public's burden. Comments must be submitted by March 15, 2021. The OSAC Membership Application aims to identify individuals who can contribute to setting forensic science standards, and it is a voluntary online application.
Simple Explanation
The National Institute of Standards and Technology wants people to share their thoughts on how they ask for help from scientists to make rules about forensic science. They're checking to see if it's too much work for people to fill out the forms and want to make it easier.
