National Science Board; Committee on Strategy and Budget; Sunshine Act Meeting, 42676 [06-6534]

Download as PDF 42676 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 144 / Thursday, July 27, 2006 / Notices rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with NOTICES of the survey, and that the issues regarding ambiguity in language used in the survey are addressed in the ‘‘FAQ’’ section of the website. After extensive phone and email correspondences, it was determined Ms. Paul’s concerns originated from distress about a new National Park Service policy regarding scientific collections. As that program is unrelated to our survey collection and her concerns of unclearly defined terms used in the survey are addressed in the FAQ section of the survey instrument, the NSF is moving forward with the clearance request. Title of Collection: ‘‘Scientific Collections Survey.’’ OMB Approval Number: 3145–NEW. Type of Request: Intent to seek approval to establish an information collection for three years Proposed Project: The Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) has requested an assessment of information regarding all object-based scientific collections maintained or financially supported by the Federal government or used in research supported by the Federal government, and ancillary materials directly related to them. The Interagency Working Group on Scientific Collections (IWGSC), established in September 2005 by the Committee on Science of the National Science and Technology Council, is working with the IDA Science and Technology Policy Institute (STPI) to collect the information through an online survey. As part of the IWGSC, the National Science Foundation (NSF) has agreed to survey institutions with object-based scientific collections that receive support from the NSF or that are used by researchers that receive support form the NSF. Estimate of Burden: The Foundation estimates that, on average, 40 minutes per respondent will be required to complete the survey, for a total of 400 hours for all respondents. Respondents from the approximately 730 institutions that receive NSF support for objectbased collections, or whose object-based collections are used by researchers that receive NSF support, will complete this survey once. Respondents: Not-for-profits. Estimated Number of Responses: 730. Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 5353 hours. Dated: July 24, 2006. Suzanne H. Plimpton, Reports Clearance Officer, National Science Foundation.

[FR Doc. 06–6534 Filed 7–25–06; 11:10 am] BILLING CODE 7555–01–P NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION Atomic Safety and Licensing Board [Docket No. 52–009–ESP; ASLBP No. 04– 823–03–ESP] In the Matter of System Energy Resources, Inc. (Early Site Permit for Grand Gulf ESP Site); Notice of Opportunity To Make Oral or Written Limited Appearance Statements July 21, 2006. Before Administrative Judges: Lawrence G. McDade, Chairman; Nicholas G. Trikouros, and Dr. Richard E. Wardwell. This proceeding involves the application of System Energy Resources, Inc., (SERI) for a 10 CFR Part 52 early site permit (ESP). The ESP application seeks approval of the site at the existing Grand Gulf nuclear power station in Claiborne County, Mississippi, for the possible future construction of a new nuclear power generation facility. SERI filed its application on October 16, 2003. Thereafter, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (Claiborne County, Mississippi Branch), Nuclear Information and Resource Service, Public Citizen, and the Mississippi chapter of the Sierra Club (Petitioners) filed a request for hearing and petition to intervene. Based on the pleadings submitted, and after hearing argument regarding the standing of the Petitioners and the admissibility of their seven PO 00000 Frm 00052 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 proffered contentions, the previously assigned Atomic Safety and Licensing Board determined that although Petitioners had established the requisite standing to intervene in this proceeding, they had failed to submit at least one admissible contention. LBP–04–19, 60 NRC 277 (2004). Petitioners collectively appealed the Board’s Order and, on January 18, 2005, the Commission affirmed the Board’s rulings. CLI–05–04, 61 NRC 10 (2005). Therefore, the only matter remaining before this Board is satisfaction of the Mandatory Hearing requirement with regard to SERI’s ESP Application. 42 U.S.C. 2235 (2000); 10 CFR 52.18, 52.21, 52.24. This Atomic Safety and Licensing Board hereby gives notice that, in accordance with 10 CFR 2.315(a), the Board will entertain oral limited appearance statements from members of the public in connection with this proceeding at the date, time, and location specified below. A. Date, Time, and Location of Oral Limited Appearance Statement Session The session will be held on the following date at the specified location and time: Date: August 28, 2006. Time: 6 p.m. CDT until 9 p.m. CDT. Location: City Hall, 1005 College Street, Port Gibson, Mississippi 39150. B. Participation Guidelines for Oral Limited Appearance Statements Any person not a party, or the representative of a party, to the proceeding will be permitted to make an oral statement setting forth his or her position on matters of concern relating to this proceeding. Although these statements do not constitute testimony or evidence in the proceeding, they nonetheless help the Board and/or the parties in their consideration of the issues. Oral limited appearance statements will be entertained during the hours specified above, or such lesser time as might be necessary to accommodate the speakers who are present. In this regard, if all scheduled and unscheduled speakers present at the session have made a presentation, the Licensing Board reserves the right to terminate the session before the ending time listed above.
