NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION
Notice of Intent to Seek Approval to
Establish an Information Collection
National Science Foundation.
Notice and Request for
Comments.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
SUMMARY: The National Science
Foundation (NSF) is announcing plans
to request clearance of this collection. In
accordance with the requirement of
Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–13),
we are providing opportunity for public
comment on this action. After obtaining
and considering public comment, NSF
will prepare the submission requesting
that OMB approve clearance of this
collection for no longer than three years.
DATES: Written comments on this notice
must be received by August 12, 2005 to
be assured of consideration. Comments
received after that date will be
considered to the extent practicable.
For Additional Information or
Comments: Contact Suzanne H.
Plimpton, Reports Clearance Officer,
National Science Foundation, 4201
Wilson Boulevard, Suite 295, Arlington,
Virginia 22230; telephone (703) 292–
7556; or send e-mail to
splimpto@nsf.gov. Individuals who use
a telecommunications device for the
deaf (TDD) may call the Federal
Information Relay Service (FIRS) at 1–
800–877–8339 between 8 a.m. and 8
p.m., Eastern time, Monday through
Friday. You also may obtain a copy of
the data collection instrument and
instructions from Ms. Plimpton.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Number: 3145–NEW.
Expiration Date of Approval: Not
applicable.
Type of Request: Intent to seek
approval to establish an information
collection.
Abstract:
Proposed Project:
Task 1
NSF’s priority area in Nanoscale
Science & Engineering (NS&E) has been
funded since FY 2001 and is funded at
approximately $335 million in FY 2005.
The goals of the NS&E priority area are
to support fundamental knowledge
creation across disciplinary principles,
phenomena, and tools at the nanoscale,
PO 00000
Frm 00079
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
and to catalyze synergistic science and
engineering research and education in
emerging areas of nanoscale science and
technology. A NSF contractor will study
partnerships and knowledge transfer
and innovation activities related to (1)
NS&E (Nanoscale Interdisciplinary
Research Team (NIRT) and Nanoscale
Science and Engineering Center (NSEC)
awards made during FY 2001–2004 and
(2) NSF awards to two networks that
work closely with NS&E—the National
Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network
(NNIN) and the Network for
Computational Nanotechnology (NCN).
Using a standard set of definitions to
ensure comparability across awards, the
contractor will collect data on patents;
licenses; state, local, and industrial
partnerships; start-up companies; and
other indicators of technology transfer
and collaboration with state and local
governments and industry. To the extent
possible, the contractor will also collect
data on state and private investments in
activities that complement or build
upon the NSF awards. For geographic
areas where there has been significant
NSF funding under these activities, the
contractor may propose to provide an
initial assessment of the contribution of
these awards to the regional economy.
The contractor’s data collection shall
include, but need not be limited to,
gathering information from public and
private databases and conducting
interviews with NS&E grantees to fill
remaining gaps. The data will be
integrated into a database with
information on each award. The
database will be consistent with the
database that the EEC Division has
constructed for the NSECs.
The analyses will summarize the data
overall and by mode of funding (NIRT,
NSEC, NNIN, NCN) and identify key
topics, if any that are a major focus for
knowledge transfer and partnerships.
Task 2
The subcontractor will define and
present alternative methodologies for
documenting the creation of an
interdisciplinary research community in
nonotechnology. These methodologies
shall provide a means to qualitatively
assess the size and scope of the
interdisciplinary research community in
nanoscience and nanoengineering from
the period 2001–2004. This analysis
will also provide a basis for determining
how collaborations lead to new
directions in research and education in
nanoscience and engineering. Most of
the data for this effort will be gathered
directly from the Internet. However, the
contractor may contact selected NS&E,
NNIN, or NCN awardees to fill data gaps
or to confirm data.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY
COMMISSION
Agency Information Collection
Activities: Submission for the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)
Review; Comment Request
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC).
ACTION: Notice of the OMB review of
information collection and solicitation
of public comment.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The NRC has recently
submitted to OMB for review the
following proposal for the collection of
information under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. Chapter 35). The NRC hereby
informs potential respondents that an
agency may not conduct or sponsor, and
that a person is not required to respond
to, a collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number.
1. Type of submission, new, revision,
or extension: Extension.
2. The title of the information
collection: Notice of Enforcement
Discretion (NOEDs) for Operating Power
VerDate jul<14>2003

Jkt 205001
Reactors and Gaseous Diffusion Plants
(GDP).
3. The form number if applicable: Not
applicable.
4. How often the collection is
required: On occasion.
5. Who will be required or asked to
report: Nuclear power reactor licensees
and gaseous diffusion plant certificate
holders.
6. An estimate of the number of
annual responses: 26.
7. The estimated number of annual
respondents: 11.
8. An estimate of the total number of
hours needed annually to complete the
requirement or request: 1,991 hours
(1810 reporting [121 hours per response]
and 181 recordkeeping [16.45 hours per
recordkeeper]).
9. An indication of whether Section
3507(d), Pub. L. 104–13 applies: Not
applicable.
10. Abstract: The NRC’s Enforcement
Policy addresses circumstances in
which the NRC may exercise
enforcement discretion. A specific type
of enforcement discretion is designated
as a Notice of Enforcement Discretion
(NOED) and relates to circumstances
which may arise where a nuclear power
plant licensee’s compliance with a
Technical Specification Limiting
Condition for Operation or with other
license conditions would involve an
unnecessary plant transient or
shutdown, or performance of testing,
inspection, or system realignment that is
inappropriate for the specific plant
conditions, or unnecessary delays in
plant startup without a corresponding
health and safety benefit. Similarly, for
a gaseous diffusion plant, circumstances
may arise where compliance with a
Technical Safety Requirement or other
condition would unnecessarily call for a
total plant shutdown, or,
notwithstanding that a safety,
safeguards or security feature was
degraded or inoperable, compliance
would unnecessarily place the plant in
a transient or condition where those
features could be required.
A licensee or certificate holder
seeking the issuance of an NOED must
provide a written justification, in
accordance with guidance provided in
NRC Inspection Manual, Part 9900,
which documents the safety basis for
the request and provides whatever other
information the NRC staff deems
necessary to decide whether or not to
exercise discretion.

statement may be viewed free of charge
