The I/UCRC program initially offers five-year Phase I) continuing awards. This five-year period of support allows for the development of a strong partnership between the academic researchers and their industrial and government members. After five years, centers that continue to meet the I/ UCRC program requirements may request support for a second five-year (Phase II) period. These awards allow centers to continue to grow and diversify their non-NSF memberships during their Phase II period. After ten years, a Phase III award provides a third five-year award for centers that demonstrate their viability, sustainability, and which have had a significant impact on industry research as measured through annual reports, site visits, and adherence to I/UCRC requirements. Centers are expected to be fully supported by industry, other Federal agencies, and state and local government partners after fifteen-years as an I/UCRC. Centers will be required to provide data to NSF and its authorized representatives (contractors or grantees). These data will be used for NSF internal reports, historical data, and for securing future funding for continued I/UCRC program maintenance and growth. Updates to the IUCRC database of performance indicators will be required annually. Centers will be responsible for submitting the following information after the award expires for their fiscal year of activity. The indicators are both quantitative and descriptive. • Quantitative information from the most recently completed fiscal year such as: Æ Number and diversity of students, faculty, and industrial numbers involved in the center Æ Degrees granted to students involved in center activities Æ Amounts and sources of income to the center, and Æ Lists of patents, licenses, and publications created • Operating budget and total funding: Æ Total funding Æ NSF I/UCRC funding received Æ Other NSF funding received Æ Additional support broken down by Industry, State, University, Other Federal, Non-Federal and other support • Capital and in-kind support: Æ Equipment Æ Facilities Æ Personnel Æ Software Æ Other support • Human resources: Æ Researchers (number of faculty scientists and engineers, number of nonfaculty scientists and engineers) VerDate Mar<15>2010 22:37 Dec 27, 2010 Jkt 223001 Æ Students (number of graduates, number of undergraduates) Æ Administration, number of full and part time professional and clerical staff Æ Information about broadening participation on the above with plans to increase broadening participation, if necessary • Center director descriptors: Æ Position and rank of director Æ Status of tenure Æ Name and position of the person to whom the center director reports Æ Estimate of the percent of time the director devotes to center administration, other administration, research, teaching, other • Center outcomes: Æ Students receiving degrees and type degree earned Æ Students hired by industry by type of degree Æ Publications fi Number with center research fi Number with Industrial Advisory Board Members fi Number of presentations • Intellectual property events: Æ Invention disclosures Æ Patent applications Æ Software copyrights Æ Patents granted and derived or both Æ Licensing agreements Æ Royalties realized I/UCRCs will also include evaluation conducted by independent evaluators who cannot be from the department(s) with the institution(s) receiving funding for the I/UCRC award.

Background Pursuant to section 189a.

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 December 2, 2010, to December 15, 2010. The last biweekly notice was published on December 14, 2010 (75 FR 77906). emcdonald on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with NOTICES 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), 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 VerDate Mar<15>2010 22:37 Dec 27, 2010 Jkt 223001 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, Rules, Announcements and Directives Branch (RADB), 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.
