Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 160 / Friday, August 17, 2012 / Notices
regarding the expenditure of taxpayer
funds on these types of experiences,
which provide training for
postsecondary students in basic and
applied research in STEM.
Consult With Other Agencies & the
Public
NSF has not consulted with other
agencies but has gathered information
from its grantee community through
attendance at PI conferences. A request
for public comments will be solicited
through announcement of data
collection in the Federal Register.
Background
All NSF grantees are required to use
the FastLane Project Reports System for
reporting progress, accomplishments,
participants, and activities annually and
at the conclusion of their project.
Information from annual and final
reports provides yearly updates on
project inputs, activities, and outcomes
for agency reporting purposes. If project
participants include undergraduate
students supported by the Research
Experiences for Undergraduates (REU)
Sites Program or by an REU
Supplement, then the grantees and their
students are required to complete the
REU Reporting Module.
Respondents: Individuals (Principal
Investigators and REU undergraduate
student participants).
Number of Principal Investigator
Respondents: 2,000.
Burden on the Public: 650 total hours.
Number of REU Student Participant
Respondents: 7,250.
Burden on the Public: 1,810 total
hours.

comment about our intention to request
the OMB’s approval for renewal of an
existing information collection that is
summarized below. We are required to
publish this notice in the Federal
Register under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. Chapter 35).
Information pertaining to the
requirement to be submitted:
1. The title of the information
collection: NRC’s Policy Statement
Cooperation with States at Commercial
Nuclear Power Plants and Other Nuclear
Production and Utilization Facilities
2. Current OMB approval number:
3150–0163.
3. How often the collection is
required: On occasion, when a State
wishes to observe NRC inspections or
perform inspections for the NRC.
4. Who is required or asked to report:
Nuclear Power Plant Licensees,
Materials Security Licensees and those
States interested in observing or
performing inspections.
5. The number of annual respondents:
55.
6. The number of hours needed
annually to complete the requirement or
request: 1,000.
7. Abstract: States are involved and
interested in monitoring the safety
status of nuclear power plants and
radioactive materials. This involvement
is, in part, in response to the States’
public health and safety responsibilities
and, in part, in response to their
citizens’ desire to become more
knowledgeable about the safety of
nuclear power plants and radioactive
materials. States have identified NRC
inspections as one possible source of
knowledge for their personnel regarding
plant and materials licensee activities,
and the NRC, through the policy
statement on Cooperation with States,
has been amenable to accommodating
the States’ needs in this regard.
Additionally, the NRC has entered into
reimbursable Agreements with certain
States under Section 274i of the Act, as
amended, to employ their resources to
conduct radioactive materials security
inspections against NRC Orders.
Submit, by October 16, 2012,
comments that address the following
questions:
1. Is the proposed collection of
information necessary for the NRC to
properly perform its functions? Does the
information have practical utility?
2. Is the burden estimate accurate?
3. Is there a way to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected?
4. How can the burden of the
information collection be minimized,
including the use of automated

informs potential respondents that an
agency may not conduct or sponsor, and
that a person is not required to respond
to, a collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number. The NRC published a Federal
Register notice with a 60-day comment
period on this information collection on
April 30, 2012 (77 FR 25505).
1. Type of submission, new, revision,
or extension: Extension.

4. The form number if applicable:
N/A.
5. How often the collection is
required: Once.
6. Who will be required or asked to
report: 104 power reactor licensees, 2
reactors in the process of resuming
licensing, and 2 Combined License
applicants (2 units each).
7. An estimate of the number of
annual responses: 525.3.
8. The estimated number of annual
respondents: 110.
9. An estimate of the total number of

10. Abstract: Following events at the
Fukushima Dai-Ichi nuclear power plant
resulting from the March 11, 2011,
earthquake and subsequent tsunami,
and in response to requirements
contained in Section 402 of the
Consolidated Appropriations Act (Pub.
L. 112–074), the NRC sought an
expedited clearance from OMB to allow
the collection of information from
power reactor licensees pursuant to 10
CFR 50.54(f). The OMB approved this
clearance, which will expire on
September 30, 2012. The NRC has
resubmitted this collection to the OMB
under the normal clearance processes.
The information requested includes
seismic and flooding hazard
reevaluations to determine if further
regulatory action is necessary,
walkdowns to confirm compliance with
the current licensing basis and provide
input to the hazard reevaluations, and
analysis of the Emergency Preparedness
capability with respect to staffing and
communication ability during a
prolonged multiunit event.

material, and source material, such as
those involving radiation
overexposures, leaking or contaminated
sealed source(s), release of excessive
contamination of radioactive material,
lost or stolen radioactive material,
equipment failures, abandoned well
logging sources, and medical events.
Agreement State licensees are also
required to report these events to their
individual Agreement State regulatory
authorities under compatible Agreement
State regulations. The NRC is requesting
that the Agreement States provide
information to NRC on the initial
notification, response actions, and
follow-up investigations on events
involving the use (including suspected
theft or terrorist activities) of nuclear
materials regulated pursuant to the
Atomic Energy Act. The event
information should be provided in a
uniform electronic format, for
assessment and identification of any
facilities/site specific or generic safety
concerns that could have the potential
to impact public health and safety. The
identification and review of safety
concerns may result in lessons learned,
and may also identify generic issues for
further study which could result in
proposals for changes or revisions to
technical or regulatory designs,
