Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 117 / Monday, June 20, 2005 / Notices
directed by Congress and the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
monitor and evaluate awards made
under the Math and Science Partnership
(MSP) program. On April 28, 2005 we
received a reply from Ms. Sachau
requesting her ‘‘comments stand for the
public record. NSF believes that because
the comment does not pertain to the
collection of information on the
required forms for which NSF is seeking
OMB approval, NSF is preceding with
the clearance request.
Title: The Evaluation of NSF’s Math
and Science Partnerships (MSP)
Program.
OMB Control Number: 3145–0199.
Abstract
This document has been prepared to
support the clearance of data collection
instruments to be used in the evaluation
of the Math and Science Partnership
(MSP) Program. The goals for the
program are to (1) ensure that all K–12
students have access to, are prepared
for, and are encouraged to participate
and succeed in challenging curricula
and advanced mathematics and science
courses; (2) enhance the quality,
quantity, and diversity of the K–12
mathematics and science teacher
workforce; and (3) develop evidencebased outcomes that contribute to our
understanding of how students
effectively learn mathematics and
science. The motivational force for
realizing these goals is the formation of
partnerships between institutions of
higher education (IHEs) and K–12
school districts. The role of IHE content
faculty is the cornerstone of this
intervention. In fact, it is the rigorous
involvement of science, mathematics,
and engineering faculty—and the
expectation that both IHEs and K–12
school systems will be transformed—
that distinguishes MSP from other
education reform efforts.
The components of the overall MSP
portfolio include active projects whose
initial awards were made in prior MSP
competitions, as well as those to be
awarded in the current MSP
competition: (1) Comprehensive
Partnerships that implement change in
mathematics and/or science educational
practices in both higher education
institutions and in schools and school
districts, resulting in improved student
achievement across the K–12
continuum; (2) Targeted Partnerships
that focus on improved K–12 student
achievement in a narrower grade range
or disciplinary focus within
mathematics or science; (3) Institute
Partnerships: Teacher Institutes for the
21st Century that focus on the
development of mathematics and

science teachers as school-and districtbased intellectual leaders and master
teachers; and (4) Research, Evaluation
and Technical Assistance (RETA)
projects that build and enhance largescale research and evaluation capacity
for all MSP awardees and provide them
with tools and assistance in the
implementation and evaluation of their
work.
The MSP online monitoring system,
comprised of four web-based surveys,
will collect a common core of data about
each component of MSP. The web
application for MSP will be developed
with a modular design that incorporates
templates and self-contained code
modules for rapid development and
ease of modification. A downloadable
version will also be available for
respondents who prefer a paper version
that they can mail or fax to Westat.
Information from the system will be
used to document the Partnerships’
annual progress toward meeting the Key
features of MSP projects, such as
developing partnerships between IHEs
and local school districts, increasing
teacher quality, quantity, and diversity,
providing challenging courses and
curricula, utilizing evidence-based
design and outcome measures, and
implementing institutional change and
sustainability.
Expected Respondents
The expected respondents are
principal investigators of all projects;
STEM and education faculty members
and administrators who participated in
MSP; school districts and IHEs that are
partners in an MSP project.
Burden on the Public
We estimate that the total number of
annual respondents will be 1,848. The
estimated annual response burden is
34,382.

[Docket No. 50–331]
Nuclear Management Company; Notice
of Partial Denial of Amendment to
Facility Operating License and
Opportunity for Hearing
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC or the Commission)
has denied a request by Nuclear
Management Company, LLC (the
licensee) for an amendment to Facility
Operating License No. DPR–49 issued to
the licensee for operation of the Duane
Arnold Energy Center, located in Linn
County, Iowa.
Notice of Consideration of Issuance of
this amendment was published in the
Federal Register on April 13, 2004 (69
FR 19571).
The purpose of the licensee’s
amendment request was to revise the
Technical Specifications (TS) to reflect
adoption of Technical Specifications
Task Force (TSTF) traveler numbers
264, 273, 284, and 299.
The NRC staff has concluded that the
portion of the licensee’s request to adopt
TSTF–264 and revise TS 3.3.1.1 cannot
be granted. The licensee was notified of
the Commission’s denial of the
proposed change by a letter dated June
14, 2005.
By 30 days from the date of
publication of this notice in the Federal
Register, the licensee may demand a
hearing with respect to the denial
described above. Any person whose
interest may be affected by this
proceeding may file a written petition
for leave to intervene pursuant to the
requirements of Title 10 of the Code of
Federal Regulations Section 2.309.
A request for hearing or petition for
leave to intervene must be filed with the
