Type of Request: Intent to seek approval to renew an information collection for three years. 1. Abstract. The National Survey of College Graduates (NSCG) has been conducted biennially since the 1970s. The 2015 NSCG sample will be selected from the 2013 American Community Survey (ACS) and the 2013 NSCG. By selecting sample from these two sources, the 2015 NSCG will provide coverage of the college graduate population residing in the United States. The purpose of this longitudinal survey is to collect data that will be used to provide national estimates on the science and engineering workforce and changes in their employment, education, and demographic characteristics. The National Science Foundation Act of 1950, as subsequently amended, includes a statutory charge to ‘‘. . . provide a central clearinghouse for the collection, interpretation, and analysis of data on scientific and engineering resources, and to provide a source of information for policy formulation by other agencies of the Federal Government.’’ The NSCG is designed to comply with these mandates by providing information on the supply and utilization of the nation’s scientists and engineers. The NSF uses the information from the NSCG to prepare congressionally mandated reports such as Women, Minorities and Persons With Disabilities in Science and Engineering E:\FR\FM\18JYN1.SGM 18JYN1 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 138 / Friday, July 18, 2014 / Notices and Science and Engineering Indicators. A public release file of collected data, designed to protect respondent confidentiality, will be made available to researchers on the Internet. The U.S. Census Bureau, as in the past, will conduct the NSCG for NSF. The survey data collection will begin in February 2015 using Web and mail questionnaires. Nonrespondents to the Web or mail questionnaire will be followed up by computer-assisted telephone interviewing. The survey will be collected in conformance with the Confidential Information Protection and Statistical Efficiency Act of 2002, and the individual’s response to the survey is voluntary. NSF will ensure that all information collected will be kept strictly confidential and will be used only for statistical purposes. 2. Expected Respondents. A statistical sample of approximately 135,000 individuals will be contacted in 2015. NSF expects the response rate to be 70 to 80 percent. 3. Estimate of Burden. The amount of time to complete the questionnaire may vary depending on an individual’s circumstances; however, on average it will take approximately 30 minutes to complete the survey. NSF estimates that the total annual burden will be no more than 54,000 hours (=135,000 respondents × 80% response × 30 minutes) during the 2015 survey cycle. Dated: July 14, 2014. Suzanne H.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The text of the Order is attached. Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 11th day of July 2014. For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Patricia K. Holahan, Acting Director, Office of Enforcement. Attachment—Order Prohibiting Involvement in NRC Licensed Activities I. Mr. James Chaisson was employed from April 10, 2009, through April 30, 2010, as an area supervisor and lead PO 00000 Frm 00104 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 42057 radiographer for the Wyoming operations of Texas Gamma Ray, LLC (TGR or Licensee), whose corporate offices are located in Pasadena, Texas. TGR is the former holder of License No. 42–29303–01, issued on January 6, 2009, by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the Commission), pursuant to 10 CFR Part 34. The license authorized industrial radiographic operations in accordance with conditions specified therein. The license was terminated at the licensee’s request on July 25, 2011. On May 15, 2012, the NRC issued an Order, ‘‘Order Prohibiting Involvement in NRC-Licensed Activities’’ (IA–12– 009), to Mr. Chaisson, which required, in part, that Mr. Chaisson be prohibited from engaging in NRC-licensed activities for a 3-year period. The NRC issued the Order to Mr. Chaisson after concluding that he engaged in deliberate misconduct in violation of 10 CFR 30.10(a)(1). Specifically, the NRC concluded that Mr. Chaisson chose to store a radiographic exposure device at a facility he knew did not comply with applicable NRC security requirements and was not an authorized storage location under TGR’s license. These violations occurred while Mr. Chaisson was employed by TGR as the area supervisor and lead radiographer for its Wyoming operations. Mr. Chaisson’s deliberate misconduct caused TGR to be in violation of License No. 42–29303– 01, License Condition 19, which required increased control security requirements pertaining to the use, storage, and protection of licensed material, and License Condition 11, which required TGR to limit the storage of radioactive material authorized by its license to temporary job sites in NRC jurisdiction. In response to the Order, Mr. Chaisson requested Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) and signed the Agreement to Mediate on June 13, 2012. An ADR mediation session was conducted on July 26, 2012, in Salt Lake City, Utah. During that ADR session, Mr. Chaisson signed the Agreement in Principal that was reached with the NRC, in which he agreed to terms and conditions to be memorialized in a Confirmatory Order. A Confirmatory Order based on the Agreement in Principal was issued to Mr. Chaisson on September 10, 2012. The Confirmatory Order prohibited Mr. Chaisson from engaging in NRClicensed activities for an 18-month period from the date of the Confirmatory Order. The Confirmatory Order required that the 18-month period be followed by a 4-year restriction from acting in any supervisory capacity while working in E:\FR\FM\18JYN1.SGM 18JYN1
