SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title of Collection: Survey of Grantees of SEES and Comparable Non-SEES Programs. OMB Number: 3145–NEW. Type of request: Intent to seek approval for ICR. Abstract In 2010, NSF established the SEES Portfolio as a multi-year effort to coordinate Agency research and education activities related to the environment, energy and sustainability. The overarching goals of the SEES portfolio are to (1) support interdisciplinary research and education that can facilitate the move towards global sustainability; (2) build linkages among existing projects and partners and add new participants in the sustainability research enterprise; and (3) develop a workforce trained in the interdisciplinary scholarship needed to understand and address the complex issues of sustainability. NSF is supporting an evaluation of the SEES portfolio to determine the extent to which it has achieved its program- and portfolio-level goals. Specifically, the evaluation seeks to measure the output and outcomes of SEES in terms of the development of new knowledge and concepts that advance the overarching goal of a sustainable human future, new and productive connections made between researchers in a range of disciplines, and the development of a workforce capable of meeting sustainability challenges. This comment request relates to a proposed survey of NSF grant recipients. The survey respondents are principal investigators (PIs) in NSFfunded SEES and comparable non-SEES projects. The survey will collect information on respondents’ career pathways, NSF grant activities, and the development of interdisciplinary networks of scholars among researchers. I.

ACTION: Draft NUREG; request for comment. AGENCY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing for public comment draft NUREG–0654/FEMA– REP–1, Revision 2, ‘‘Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants.’’ This guidance document was originally issued in December 1980 by the NRC in conjunction with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Both agencies use the document to evaluate the adequacy of the emergency plans and preparedness of commercial nuclear power plant (NPP) licensees and applicants, as well as those of State, local, and Tribal governments within the emergency planning zones (EPZs) surrounding commercial NPPs. This revision reflects changes to the NRC’s and FEMA’s regulations, guidance, and policies, as well as advances in technology and methods for responding to radiological incidents that have occurred since the document was originally issued. It also incorporates the four supplemental documents and addenda to NUREG– 0654/FEMA–REP–1, Revision 1, that Lhorne on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 15:17 May 28, 2015 Jkt 235001 have been issued in the intervening years, and is intended to modernize the guidance while lessening administrative burden on users.

Revision 1 of NUREG–0654/FEMA– REP–1 provides guidance on meeting the 16 planning standards for NPP emergency response plans found in the NRC’s regulations in paragraph 50.47(b) of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) and FEMA’s regulations set forth in 44 CFR 350.5(a). Both agencies use the guidance in determining compliance with these planning standards and evaluating the overall adequacy of the emergency plans and preparedness of commercial NPP licensees and applicants, as well as State, local, and Tribal governments within the EPZs surrounding commercial NPPs, for responding to a radiological incident at an NPP.

Abstract

    In 2010, NSF established the SEES Portfolio as a multi-year effort 
to coordinate Agency research and education activities related to the 
environment, energy and sustainability. The overarching goals of the 
SEES portfolio are to (1) support interdisciplinary research and 
education that can facilitate the move towards global sustainability; 
(2) build linkages among existing projects and partners and add new 
participants in the sustainability research enterprise; and (3) develop 
a workforce trained in the interdisciplinary scholarship needed to 
understand and address the complex issues of sustainability.
    NSF is supporting an evaluation of the SEES portfolio to determine 
the extent to which it has achieved its program- and portfolio-level 
goals. Specifically, the evaluation seeks to measure the output and 
outcomes of SEES in terms of the development of new knowledge and 
concepts that advance the overarching goal of a sustainable human 
future, new and productive connections made between researchers in a 
range of disciplines, and the development of a workforce capable of 
meeting sustainability challenges.
    This comment request relates to a proposed survey of NSF grant 
recipients. The survey respondents are principal investigators (PIs) in 
NSF-funded SEES and comparable non-SEES projects. The survey will 
collect information on respondents' career pathways, NSF grant 
activities, and the development of interdisciplinary networks of 
scholars among researchers.

I. Review Focus

    NSF is interested in comments on the practical utility of the 
survey in view of the project goals and the study approach, the burden 
on respondents and potential ways to minimize it.
