Honeywell International Inc. (Honeywell or Licensee) is the holder of Materials License No. SUB–526, issued by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the Commission) pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) part 40. Originally issued on December 17, 1958, the license has been renewed many times, most recently on May 11, 2007. The license authorizes the operation of Honeywell’s Metropolis Works facility in accordance with the conditions specified therein. The facility is located in Metropolis, Illinois. II. From May 21 through 24, 2012, an NRC inspection was conducted at the Metropolis Works facility pursuant to NRC Temporary Instruction (TI) 2600/ 015, ‘‘Evaluation of Licensee Strategies for the Prevention and/or Mitigation of Emergencies at Fuel Facilities.’’ The objective of the TI inspection was to independently verify that Honeywell is adequately prepared to prevent and/or mitigate the consequences of selected safety/licensing basis events and to evaluate the adequacy of those emergency prevention and/or mitigation strategies for dealing with the consequences of selected beyond-safety/ licensing basis events. At the time of the inspection, the Metropolis Works facility had been shut down since May 9, 2012, for a planned maintenance outage. The inspection identified significant concerns related to Honeywell’s Uranium Hexafluoride (UF6) and Hydrogen Fluoride (HF) source terms, used as a basis for the Honeywell Emergency Response Plan (ERP). Specifically, the inspection identified that the design of the process equipment in the Feed Materials Building at the Metropolis Works facility lacks seismic restraints, supports, and bracing that would assure process equipment integrity during a credible seismic event or tornado. Because the Metropolis Works facility was shut down for a planned maintenance outage, no immediate safety concern existed. The NRC concluded, however, that the potential consequences of the inspection findings were significant. E:\FR\FM\23OCN1.SGM 23OCN1

Abstract

Proposed Project

    The Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Reporting Module 
is a component of the NSF Project Reports System that is designed to 
gather information about students participating in Research Experiences 
for Undergraduates (REU) Sites and Supplements projects. All NSF 
projects are required to use the FastLane Project Reports System for 
developing and submitting annual and final project reports. If NSF 
cannot collect information about undergraduate participants in 
undergraduate research experiences, NSF will have no other means to 
consistently document the number and diversity of participants, types 
of participant involvement in the research, and types of institutions 
represented by the participants.
    NSF is committed to providing program stakeholders with information 
regarding the expenditure of taxpayer funds on these types of 
experiences, which provide training for postsecondary students in basic 
and applied research in STEM.

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.
