SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title of Collection: Grantee Reporting Requirements for the Graduate Research Fellowship Program. OMB Number: 3145–NEW. Expiration Date of Approval: Not applicable. Type of Request: Intent to seek approval to establish an information collection. Abstract Proposed Project: The purpose of the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program is to help ensure the vitality and diversity of the scientific and engineering workforce in the United States. The program recognizes and supports outstanding graduate students who are pursuing research-based master‘s and doctoral degrees in fields within NSF’s mission. The GRFP provides three years of support, to be used during a five-year fellowship period, for the graduate education of individuals who have demonstrated their potential for significant achievements in science and engineering research. The Graduate Research Fellowship Program uses several sources of information in assessing and documenting program performance and impact. These sources include reports from program evaluation, the GRFP Committee of Visitors, and data compiled from the applications. In addition, GRFP Fellows submit annual activity reports to NSF. The GRFP Completion report is proposed as a new component of the annual reporting submitted by each GRFP institution to NSF. The Completion Report and the existing Program Expense Report will comprise the GRFP Annual Report. GRFP institutions will certify the current status of all GRFP Fellows at the institution. The current status will be reported as either In Progress, Graduated, Transferred, or Withdrawn. For Graduate Fellows with Graduated status, the graduation date is a required reporting element. Collection of this information will allow the program to obtain information on the current status of Fellows, the number and/or percentage of Graduate Fellowship recipients who complete a science or engineering graduate degree, and an VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:20 May 21, 2012 Jkt 226001 estimate of time to degree completion. The report must be certified and submitted by the institution’s designated Financial Official (FO) annually. Use of the Information: The completion report data will provide the GRFP with accurate Fellow information regarding their completion of their graduate programs. The data will be used by NSF in its assessment of the impact of its investments in the GRFP, and will inform its program management. Estimate of Burden: Overall average time will be 15 minutes per Fellow (6886 Fellows) for a total of 1722 hours for all institutions with Fellows. An estimate for institutions with 12 or fewer Fellows will be 1 hour, institutions with 12–48 fellows will be 4 hours, and institutions over 48 Fellows will be 10 hours. Respondents: Academic institutions with GRFP Fellows. Estimated Number of Responses per Report: One from each of the 228 current GRFP institutions. Comments: Comments are invited on (a) whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance and function of the National Science Foundation, including whether the information shall be useful; (b) the accuracy of NSF’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the utility and clarity of the information on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology; (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond and (e) the usefulness of the data to institutions.

Bavol, Policy Coordinator, Office of the Secretary. Mr. James Chaisson; Order Prohibiting Involvement in NRC–Licensed Activities I Mr. James Chaisson was employed from April 10, 2009, through April 30, 2010, as an area supervisor and lead radiographer for the Wyoming operations of Texas Gamma Ray, LLC (TGR or Licensee), whose corporate offices are located in Pasadena, Texas. TGR is the former holder of License No. 42–29303–01 issued on January 6, 2009, by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the Commission), pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) part 34. The license authorized industrial radiographic operations in accordance with conditions specified therein. The license was terminated at the licensee’s request on July 25, 2011. II From June 4, 2009, through November 30, 2010, the NRC conducted a safety and security inspection of the use of byproduct material for industrial radiographic operations conducted under TGR’s former NRC license. As a result of this inspection, the NRC’s Office of Investigations (OI), Region IV, initiated two investigations (OI Report Nos. 04–2009–066 and 04–2011–034) to determine, in part, whether Mr. Chaisson: (1) Deliberately stored radiographic exposure devices at a location he knew was not authorized by TGR’s radioactive material license, and (2) deliberately failed to implement NRC security requirements for the use, storage, and protection of licensed material for radiographic operations. By letter dated February 23, 2012 (ML12055A162), the NRC informed Mr. Chaisson that the NRC was considering escalated enforcement action for an apparent violation of the NRC’s deliberate misconduct rule, 10 CFR 30.10. The NRC offered Mr. Chaisson the opportunity to request a predecisional enforcement conference (PEC), or request alternative dispute resolution (ADR) with the NRC in an attempt to resolve issues associated with this matter. During a March 19, 2012, PO 00000 Frm 00073 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 conference call between Mr. Chaisson and NRC staff, Mr. Chaisson indicated that he was not interested in a PEC or ADR. Mr. Chaisson stated that he would, however, submit a written response to the NRC’s February 23rd letter. On March 26, 2012, Region IV received a written response from Mr. Chaisson postmarked March 23, 2012 (ML12095A366). Based on a review of the information in Mr. Chaisson’s March 2012, letter, and the results of the inspection and OI investigations, the NRC has concluded that Mr. Chaisson twice engaged in deliberate misconduct in violation of 10 CFR 30.10(a)(1). First, Mr. Chaisson engaged in deliberate misconduct that caused Texas Gamma Ray, LLC (TGR), at the time an NRC licensee, to be in violation of License Condition 19 of its NRC Radioactive Material License, which required TGR to comply with NRC security requirements. Mr. Chaisson chose to store a radiographic exposure device at a leased facility on Elk Street in Rock Springs, Wyoming, even though he knew the facility did not comply with applicable NRC security requirements pertaining to the use, storage, and protection of licensed material. He periodically stored the radiographic exposure device at this location from December 2009 through April 30, 2010. Second, by storing the radiographic exposure device at the Elk Street location, Mr. Chaisson engaged in deliberate misconduct that caused TGR, at the time an NRC licensee, to be in violation of License Condition 11 of its NRC Radioactive Material License, which required TGR to limit the storage of radioactive material approved on the license to temporary job sites in NRC jurisdiction. Specifically, Mr. Chaisson chose to store a radiographic exposure device at the leased facility on Elk Street in Rock Springs, Wyoming, even though he knew the facility was not an authorized storage location listed on the license. Mr. Chaisson is a radiographer with 27 years experience, 8 of those years as a radiation safety officer (RSO). TGR assigned him as the area supervisor and lead radiographer for Wyoming operations and as such, he was responsible for TGR’s radiographic operations in Wyoming. He was listed as the person to contact in case of an emergency in Wyoming. Mr. Chaisson was in possession of a copy of TGR’s NRC license and was knowledgeable of the restrictions and security requirements associated with the use and storage of radioactive material. Mr. Chaisson admitted that he stored the radiographic exposure device at the Elk E:\FR\FM\22MYN1.SGM 22MYN1
