physical properties for the high-level waste
stored in the Hanford Tank Farms.’’
DOE intends to conduct large-scale testing
with simulants selected to represent the vast
majority of the waste in the tank farms,
consistent with the approach used in WTP’s
pulse jet mixing test program conducted to
date. The WTP design and planned
operations approach is intended to address
residual uncertainty with other actions and
design features. These include (1) waste feed
pre-qualification activities; and (2) specific
design features, including the ability to
inspect vessels and equipment for vessel heel
dilution and cleanout, that would enable
waste particles that may not be mixing with
the bulk of the waste to be moved forward
to the melters.
• Sub-recommendation 3: This subrecommendation calls for ‘‘* * * verification
and validation of any computational models
used by the WTP project team (e.g., Low
Order Accumulation Model and FLUENT)
based on the results from the ‘large-scale
testing.’ ’’
The verification and validation effort is
expected to be completed prior to the ‘‘large
scale testing.’’ The WTP project intends to
compare the results from the ‘‘large scale
testing’’ with the computational models.
• Sub-recommendation 4: This subrecommendation calls for ‘‘* * * including
demonstrating that representative samples
can be obtained even if the assumed WTP
design particle size or density is exceeded.
This will ensure that the sampling system
does not exclude large, dense particles and
artificially bias the measured particle size
and density distribution.’’
The vessel testing activities will include
determining the acceptability of vessel
sampling in conditions where sampling may
be challenged by mixing performance, i.e.,
solids-containing vessels. There may be cases
where the sample system operation during
normal vessel operations does not retrieve
some large dense particles for analysis. As
noted above, this is planned to be
accommodated by the feed-prequalification
process and by the ability to pull a sample
during the heel dilution and cleanout
process, when larger, denser particles would
be retrieved into the sample system.
Consequently, the large-scale testing program
is not intending to demonstrate that normal
sampling activities can retrieve all waste
particles.
DOE is committed to the safe design and
operation of its nuclear facilities, consistent
with the principles of Integrated Safety
Management, and values input on how DOE
can improve its activities. We look forward
to working further with the Board and its
staff on preparation of the DOE’s
Implementation Plan for Recommendation
2010–2 so that the WTP project can complete
its design and construction activities while
promoting nuclear safety for the life of WTP
operations.

Secretary for Environmental Management, at

Energy.
ACTION: Notice and Request for
Comments.
AGENCY:
The Department of Energy
(DOE) invites public comment on a
proposed collection of information to
support the Weatherization Assistance
Program ARRA–Period Evaluation that
DOE is developing for submission to the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) pursuant to the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995. Comments
submitted in response to this notice will
be summarized and/or included in the
request for OMB approval of this
information collection; they also will
become a matter of public record.
Information about the operation of the
program, energy used before and after
weatherization, energy used by control
group low-income homes, the
effectiveness of specific energy
efficiency measures, customer
satisfaction with the program, and nonenergy benefits is needed for a
comprehensive and rigorous evaluation
of the program operated during the
American Recovery and Reinvestment
Act of 2009 (ARRA), which includes
Program Years 2009, 2010, and 2011.
DATES: Comments regarding this
proposed information collection must
be received on or before May 10, 2011.
If you anticipate difficulty in submitting
comments within that period, contact
the person listed in ADDRESSES as soon
as possible.
ADDRESSES: Written comments may be
sent to: Bruce Tonn, Environmental
Sciences Division, Oak Ridge National
Laboratory, One Bethel Valley Road,
