OMB's guidelines were published in the **Federal Register** on September 28, 2001 (66 FR 49718), and updated on January 3, 2002 (67 FR 369).

As a result, The National Science Foundation
(NSF)has developed corresponding information quality guidelines (the notice for which can be found at: 67 FR 21778). The full draft guidelines are found at the National Science Foundation's website: *http://www.nsf.gov/home/pubinfo/infoqual.htm.* As part of this effort, NSF has developed a form to assist the public in reviewing NSF's information products. The form also may be found at the website above. DATES: Written comments on this notice must be received by August 6, 2002 to be assured of consideration. Comments received after that date will be considered to the extent practicable. COMMENTS: Comments are invited on

(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
