Title of Collection: Grantee Reporting
Requirements for the Research

Program.
OMB Number: 3145–NEW.
Type of Request: Intent to seek
approval to establish an information
collection.
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.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY
COMMISSION
[Docket No. 40–3392; License No. SUB–526;
EA–12–157; NRC–2012–0244]
Confirmatory Order; In the Matter of
Honeywell International Inc.;
Metropolis, Illinois
I.
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.
