Graduate Education Impacts or Legacy
(GEIL). (Formerly called the Evaluation

of the Initial Impacts of the Integrative
Graduate Education Research and
Traineeship (IGERT) Program.)
OMB Control No.: 3145–0182.
Abstract
The National Science Foundation
(NSF) requests reinstatement of this data
collection (e.g., interviews, surveys,
focus groups, site visits) measuring
NSF’s contribution to the Nation’s
graduate education enterprise and
overall science and engineering
workforce. This continuation expands
the data collection formerly called ‘‘The
Evaluation of the Initial Impacts of the
IGERT Program’’ most recently
approved through July 2005 (OMB
3145–0182).
IGERT began data collection in the
late 1990s for use in program research,
management, and evaluation. Data
collection was concurrent with NSFfunding in order to document IGERT’s
initial impact within individual
departments or institutions (often called
projects), and on student, faculty, and
other participants as compared to the
educational and training experiences of
individuals who were external to
IGERT. This request expands data
collection to the portfolio of NSFfunded graduate education programs
and projects, typically on a program-byprogram sub-study basis in order to
address long-term impact.
For over fifty years NSF has funded
directly and indirectly (e.g., via
institutions), tens of thousands of
individuals who pursue postundergraduate education or research
training. NSF’s graduate education
portfolio includes:
The Integrative Graduate Education
Research and Traineeship (IGERT)
program. IGERT provides grants to
institutions to recruit and support
doctoral students in interdisciplinary
Science, Technology, Engineering, and
Mathematics programs (STEM).
The Graduate Teaching Fellows in K–
12 Education (GK–12) program. GK–12
provides grants to institutions to
support STEM graduate students’
acquisition of skills that will prepare
them for careers in the 21st century.
The Graduate Research Fellowship
(GRF) program. GRF provides three
years of funding to eligible individuals
for graduate study leading to researchbased masters or doctoral degrees at an
IHE of their choice.
A longer list of NSF’s graduate
education opportunities and eligibility
information is on the NSF Web site
under the link: ‘‘Specialized
information for Graduate Students’’ at:

Through longitudinal study NSF aims
to learn about the long-term impact or
legacy of its program strategies in
graduate education. A primary goal is to
identify and follow-up with individuals
who participate in NSF-funded
programs or projects, especially
students who graduated with masters or
doctoral degrees. The primary means of
data collection will be surveys. Site
visits, focus groups and interviews are
used to improve survey instruments,
clarify responses or address questions of
institutional impact. Typical
respondents are former NSF-funded
fellows, trainees or to her participants in
NSF-funded projects or are professional
scientists, engineers, IHE faculty, Kgraduate educators, education
administrators and K–IHE policymakers.
NSF uses the analysis of responses to
prepare and publish reports and to
respond to requests from Committees of
Visitors, Congress and the Office of
management and Budget, particularly as
related to the Government Performance
and Results Act (GPRA) and the
Program Assessment Rating Tool
(PART).
The study’s broad questions include
but are not limited to: What do
individuals following post-participation
in IGERT or other NSF-funded graduate
opportunities do? Do IGERT or other
NSF-funded opportunities provide
graduates with the professional and/or
research skills needed to work in
science and engineering? Are IGERT or
other NSF-sponsored graduates satisfied
that their NSF-funded graduate
education advanced their careers in
science or engineering? To what extent
do IGERT or other former-NSFsponsored graduates engage in the
science and engineering workforce
conduct inter- or multi-disciplinary
science? Is there evidence of a legacy
from NSF-funding that changed a
degree-granting department beyond
number of students supported and
degrees awarded? To what extent have
projects achieved or contributed to
individual project goals or the NSF
program goals? To what extent have
NSF-funded projects or programs
broadened participation by diverse
individuals, particularly individuals
traditionally underemployed in science
or engineering, including but not
limited to women, minorities, and
persons-with-disabilities?
Respondents: Individuals or
households, not-for-profit institutions,
business or other for profit, and Federal,
State, Local, or Tribal Government.
Number of Respondents: 3,345.
Burden on the Public: 1,552 hours.

COMMISSION
[Docket No. 50–336]
Millstone Power Station, Unit No. 2;
Notice of Consideration of Issuance of
Amendment to Facility Operating
License, Proposed No Significant
Hazards Consideration Determination
and Opportunity for a Hearing
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (the Commission or NRC)
is considering issuance of an
amendment to Facility Operating
License No. DPR–65 issued to Dominion
Nuclear Connecticut (the licensee) for
operation of the Millstone Power
Station, Unit No. 2, located in New
London County, Connecticut.
The proposed amendment would
revise Technical Specification (TS) 3/
4.4.3, ‘‘Reactor Coolant System, Relief
Valves’’ to modify the method of testing
the pressurizer Power Operated Relief
Valves (PORVs). Specifically, the
requirement for bench testing the valves
is changed to accommodate testing of
the PORVs while installed in the plant.
The change is requested due to the
installation of new PORVs that are
welded to the piping rather than bolted
into the system.
Before issuance of the proposed
license amendment, the Commission
will have made findings required by the
Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended
(the Act), and the Commission’s
regulations.
The Commission has made a
proposed determination that the
amendment request involves no
significant hazards consideration. Under
the Commission’s regulations in Title 10
