SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title of Collection: Revitalizing
Computing Pathways (CPATH) in
Undergraduate Education Program
Evaluation.
OMB Number: 3145–NEW.
Expiration Date of Approval: Not
Applicable.
Type of request: New.
Abstract: The CPATH program was
established by the National Science
Foundation’s Computer & Information
Science & Engineering (CISE) division
with a vision towards preparing a U.S.
workforce with the computing
competencies and skills imperative to
the Nation’s health, security, and
prosperity in the 21st century. This
workforce includes a cadre of
computing professionals prepared to
contribute to sustained U.S. leadership
in computing in a wide range of
application domains and career fields,
and a broader professional workforce
with knowledge and understanding of
critical computing concepts,
methodologies, and techniques. To
achieve this vision, CISE/CPATH is
calling for colleges and universities to
work together and with other
stakeholders (industry, professional
societies, and other types of
organizations) to formulate and
implement plans to revitalize
undergraduate computing education in
the United States. The full engagement
of faculty and other individuals in CISE
disciplines will be critical to success.
Successful CPATH projects will be
systemic in nature, address a broad
range of issues, and have significant
potential to contribute to the
transformation and revitalization of
undergraduate computing education on
a national scale.
The qualitative data collection of this
program evaluation will document
CPATH program strategies utilized in
infusing computational thinking across
different contexts and disciplines,
examine the development of
communities of practitioners and the
dissemination of best practices around
computational thinking, and analyze
preliminary evidence for how the
CPATH program is preparing students
for career options in the STEM
workforce.
Five overarching evaluation questions
will guide this program evaluation:
(1) How is the CPATH program
infusing computational thinking into a
wide range of disciplines serving
undergraduate education?
(2) What is the evidence that
university and community college
VerDate Nov<24>2008

Jkt 217001
departments and faculty are integrating
computational thinking into their
courses?
(3) How are undergraduate students
benefiting from participating in CPATH
projects?
(4) What is the evidence that the
CPATH program is developing
communities of practitioners that
regularly share best practices across
different contexts and disciplinary
boundaries?
(5) How is the CPATH program
promoting sustainable multi-sector
partnerships that represent a broad
range of stakeholders (e.g., industry,
higher education, K12) and contribute to
workforce development that supports
continued U.S. leadership in
innovation?
Answers to these questions will be
obtained through the use of mixed
evaluation methods including document
analyses, site visit interviews, and
telephone interviews with selected
CPATH grant participants including
principal investigators, staff, faculty,
administrators, students, and external
partners. Participation in CPATH
program evaluation activities is a
mandatory requirement for all CPATH
awardees in accordance with the
America Competes Act, H.R. 2272, and
implementing directives.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY
COMMISSION
BiWeekly Notice Applications and
Amendments to Facility Operating
Licenses; Involving No Significant
Hazards Considerations
I. Background
Pursuant to section 189a. (2) of the
Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended
(the Act), the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (the Commission or NRC)
is publishing this regular biweekly
notice. The Act requires the
Commission publish notice of any
amendments issued, or proposed to be
issued and grants the Commission the
authority to issue and make
immediately effective any amendment
to an operating license upon a
determination by the Commission that
such amendment involves no significant
hazards consideration, notwithstanding
the pendency before the Commission of
a request for a hearing from any person.
This biweekly notice includes all
notices of amendments issued, or
proposed to be issued from August 27,
2009 to September 9, 2009. The last
biweekly notice was published on
September 8, 2009 (74 FR 46239).
Notice of Consideration of Issuance of
Amendments to Facility Operating
Licenses, Proposed No Significant
Hazards Consideration Determination,
and Opportunity for a Hearing
The Commission has made a
proposed determination that the
following amendment requests involve
no significant hazards consideration.
Under the Commission’s regulations in
Title 10 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (10 CFR), Section 50.92,
this means that operation of the facility
in accordance with the proposed
amendment would not (1) involve a
significant increase in the probability or
consequences of an accident previously
evaluated; or (2) create the possibility of
a new or different kind of accident from
any accident previously evaluated; or
(3) involve a significant reduction in a
PO 00000
Frm 00098
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
margin of safety. The basis for this
proposed determination for each
amendment request is shown below.
The Commission is seeking public
comments on this proposed
determination. Any comments received
within 30 days after the date of
publication of this notice will be
considered in making any final
determination.
Normally, the Commission will not
issue the amendment until the
expiration of 60 days after the date of
publication of this notice. The
Commission may issue the license
amendment before expiration of the 60day period provided that its final
determination is that the amendment
involves no significant hazards
consideration. In addition, the
Commission may issue the amendment
prior to the expiration of the 30-day
comment period should circumstances
change during the 30-day comment
period such that failure to act in a
timely way would result, for example in
derating or shutdown of the facility.
Should the Commission take action
prior to the expiration of either the
comment period or the notice period, it
will publish in the Federal Register a
notice of issuance. Should the
Commission make a final No Significant
Hazards Consideration Determination,
any hearing will take place after
issuance. The Commission expects that
the need to take this action will occur
very infrequently.
Written comments may be submitted
by mail to the Chief, Rulemaking and
Directives Branch (RDB), TWB–05–
B01M, Division of Administrative
Services, Office of Administration, U.S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission,
Washington, DC 20555–0001, and
should cite the publication date and
page number of this Federal Register
notice. Written comments may also be
faxed to the RDB at 301–492–3446.
Documents may be examined, and/or
copied for a fee, at the NRC’s Public
Document Room (PDR), located at One
White Flint North, Public File Area O–
1 F21, 11555 Rockville Pike (first floor),
Rockville, Maryland.
Within 60 days after the date of
publication of this notice, any person(s)
whose interest may be affected by this
action may file a request for a hearing
and a petition to intervene with respect
to issuance of the amendment to the
subject facility operating license.
Requests for a hearing and a petition for
leave to intervene shall be filed in
accordance with the Commission’s
‘‘Rules of Practice for Domestic
Licensing Proceedings’’ in 10 CFR Part
2. Interested person(s) should consult a
current copy of 10 CFR 2.309, which is
